Back on track

4 years ago By Curtis Honeycutt
There were so many great stories and angles to cover in order to capture the 2021 Indianapolis 500 race. This year’s running of the Indy 500 included a mix of older drivers (8 drivers over the age of 40) as well as an infusion of young drivers (3 drivers 22 or younger). The race featured female Swedish driver Simona De Silvestra and her team that included four female pit crew members of the seven over-the-wall crewmates. De Silvestra had to survive Bump Day last weekend in order to start at the back of the field in 33rd place.
