No fans at this month’s Indianapolis 500

There won’t be any fans allowed at the Indianapolis 500 later this month, after Roger Penske, who bought the iconic speedway in January, changed his mind because of a spike of corornavirus. Penske at first said he wouldn’t run the 104-year-old race without fans, and then said spectators would be allowed at 50 percent capacity. That was later lowered to 25 percent capacity, and now the decision has been made to not have fans at all as the number of cases continue to rise across the country and in Indiana. The Indy 500 was earlier moved to August 23rd from Memorial Day weekend because of the pandemic.
