My first Indy 500!!! Congratulations Scott Dixon!

The night before the 500, we ventured down to 16th St/Georgetown.  What an experience.  It was insane there!  The crazys were definitly out.

RACE DAY

My very first Indy 500 was an amazing experience.  Thanks to Packy and Ellen, I finally went to my first Indy 500 race.  It was so cool to see those race cars go around for the first time!  We got to the track around 9:45 and hung out in the Wheeler's Performance Graphix garage and just people watched all morning.  We watched all the cars come and get fueled up before the race.  It was pretty cool to see everyone prepping and getting ready.  I sat with the Wheeler's friend Krissy from Orange County at the race. Olivia and Ellen were in the pits, and of course Packy was spotting.  We were so happy to see that Scott Dixon finally won the 500! (Next year is Tony's year to win it)  After the race, we hung out for a while in their garage then went to the Flag room at the brickyard with Casie to eat.  After that, we went to the turn 2 suites to celebrate.  We finally left the track a little after 9:00.  We went back to the Wheeler's, quickly changed and left to go downtown for the big party at 6.  We watched the race there and it was funny to watch certain people's expressions as they watched Danica after her car was hit.  The whole weekend was a blast and an amazing experience thanks to the Wheeler's!
