    EXCERPT:

    GRUMBACH: "This year it'll be 135,000 people packing into the Motor Speedway here. And that’s only, as you said, 40% of capacity. And there's going to be the things you may expect these days. Masks are going to be required inside, there will be an attempt at social distancing. But there's one thing that’s going to be very different than any other past running of the Indianapolis 500, and that is the ability to get vaccinated while you’re at the race. You can literally grab a burger, grab a beer, grab your one-shot Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine and sit down fully vaccinated. That it what's happening. It’s in partnership with Indiana Health and with the Motor Speedway folks here. They’ve actually been doing this for months in a drive-through fashion, vaccinating 88,000 people driving through the speedway. Of course, they're not allowing amateurs on the track today, but you are able to walk up and get your vaccine once you arrive here at the track.”
