Indianapolis 500

Indianapolis Motor Speedway - Indianapolis, IN

“I don’t want to just be considered a guy that can win poles here. I truly am focused on the race, which we always are. I just keep getting in the situation where my team gives me really fast cars, and when you’re in a position to go compete for poles, it’s hard to not do it. I love racing here and love the support that I get from the local community.” Ed Carpenter
