Indianapolis, Indiana – This weekend, the Indianapolis 500 is underway, and business is flourishing at Speedway.

Jordan Birden, a fan of the races, said he had a great passion for them. It will be his son’s first Indianapolis 500 this year, a tradition he hopes to continue for many more.
Every year, a new person wants to join the 52-member crew that Birden brings up here, he added.
He remarked that it’s wonderful to meet new individuals from all around the world who come to take part in the pre-race activities.
Additionally, local businesses reported a busy weekend.
