To celebrate the 90th running of the Indianapolis 500, the race’s 33 qualified drivers will visit two of New York City’s most recognizable institutions on May 22.
The drivers will start the morning ringing The Opening BellSM at the New York Stock Exchange and touring the trading floor.
Following the NYSE event, the drivers will participate in a unique photo and interview opportunity aboard the Intrepid Sea Air & Space Museum. The 33 drivers, in race day uniform, will line up in the traditional Indianapolis 500 starting line up, 11 rows of three, for a photo on the ship's flight deck. The Indianapolis 500 is scheduled for 1 p.m. (EDT) on Sunday, May 28 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The race is the fourth event on the 2006 IRL IndyCar® Series schedule.
