Bob Jenkins considered himself an Indianapolis 500 fan who got lucky.
Indianapolis Motor Speedway fans consider themselves lucky to have Bob's voice ringing through the grandstands for decades.
While his voice on race day will be missed, his legacy at IMS will last forever.
Heartbroken at the passing of Mari Hulman George, who touched the lives of millions through her passion for auto racing, stewardship of IMS and decades of compassionate philanthropy.
Rest in peace, Mari. We love you and will miss you.
An icon and hero to racing fans around the world.
A history-making and beloved member of the
#IMS
family.
4-time

Fans knew who the real Robin Miller was, and they knew he’d have something to say.
Robin was a staple at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for many generations.
His razor-sharp wit and pointed words will be missed at the Racing Capital of the World.
The force will be with us on Race Day.
Indiana native and former Marine Adam Driver will serve as honorary starter for the 107th
