Gov. Holcomb Statement On Indy 500 Without Spectators

Governor Eric J. Holcomb offered the following statement regarding the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s decision to run the Indianapolis 500 without spectators:

“Throughout this unprecedented process, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway has always prioritized the safety of the fans.

I am grateful for Roger Penske’s leadership and his entire team for thoughtfully approaching this decision with transparency and collaboration.

I want to encourage Hoosiers to continue to social distance, wear masks and take precautions so we can continue to slow the spread of COVID-19 and hear the roar of the engines at the track next May.”
