Indianapolis Motor Speedway

Founding Fathers, Part 1

He was particularly interested in the Speedway's founding fathers, their motivations, contributions and personalities. For example, he told me that someone else had indicated that it was probably Arthur C. Newby that led the charge on developing the giant facility, even more so than Carl Fisher.
