Indianapolis Motor Speedway has significant roles in the future of racing and the automotive industry, while preserving the history and tradition of a sporting spectacle that dates to May 30, 1911, when Ray Harroun won the first Indianapolis 500.

For Joe Hale, president of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum, this is an important moment in time. He is overseeing an extensive renovation project that will replace the old museum with a new version that celebrates the past with interactive displays while still featuring some of the priceless remnants and relics that have made the 2.5-mile race track famous around the world.
