Every year, the same debate rages in central Indiana – should the Indy 500 live and local TV blackout be permanently lifted? Twice in recent memory the Greatest Spectacle in Racing has been available for television viewers in the city where the race is run. Last year, when no one was allowed on the grounds […]
