Ghosts of The Brickyard
Ghosts of the Brickyard
There is nothing in the world quite like the Indianapolis 500. Every May, more than 250,000 people gather to watch thirty-three of the best drivers compete to immortalize themselves and they’ve been gathering for over 110 years. Through World Wars, pandemics, a global depression and a recession, through sanctioning body volatility and its subsequent split, the Indianapolis 500 has managed to not only endure but thrive. Join Kate and Abby as they go year by year and discover what makes this race so special
