Today's Indy 500

I asked my cousin Doug, a long-time resident of Anderson, IN the impact of the Indy 500, if any, on Anderson and he replied that:  It's 40 miles, straight as an arrow on I-69 from the track to Anderson.  The motels and restaurants and camping sites all do well, but of more impact is the Little 500, held at the Anderson Speedway since 1949.

The Little 500 attracts some 25,000 spectators, so yeah, I would definitely expect it to make a real impact.    Ka-ching!
