Update: Someone mentioned that they might be doing testing at the #IndianapolisMotorSpeedway, and that actually makes a lot of sense, now that they've mentioned it.

Fun fact: The residents of Indianapolis are not allowed to watch the #Indianapolis500!

At least, not on TV.

Everyone else in the ENTIRE WORLD could tune in to see it from the comfort of their homes, but the locals can only listen to it on the radio.
