Cheap Trick will headline a special Indianapolis 500 Pole Day concert to be held on the Miller Lite Stage in Turn 3 of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Ever since I first heard about this I’ve had a “Cheap Trick Medley” playing in my head. Take a look at their web site here: http://www.cheaptrick.com/

Meet the 500 Festival Princesses… The WTHR Channel 13 web site has a page that displays pictures of this year’s 500 Festival Pricesses. http://www.wthr.com/Global/category.asp?C=76753

There are some interesting videos online at YouTube.com. Highlights of various Indianapolis 500s, broadcast intros, etc. Go to http://www.youtube.com and search for “Indianapolis 500″.

Johnson’s Indy 500 web site has a nice Indy 500 broadcast TV schedule. Of course, that doesn’t include all of the local coverage Indiana residents can get from local channels. http://www.geocities.com/johnsonindy500/menu/indytv.html
