Indiana has built a reputation as one of the best places to host sporting events, said Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch. The worlds largest single-day sporting event, the Indy 500, happens every May at theIndianapolis Motor Speedway [ [link removed] ],and we continue to seek more opportunities to showcase our incredible city."

People from all over come to visit The Racing Capital of the World. The 1,000-acre facility also is home to the Brickyard Crossing Golf Course and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum.

Sports tourism is big business for Indiana. Thats why the Indiana Office of Tourism Development (IOTD) works with Sports Indiana and Indiana Sports Corp to support, enhance and grow sporting events, as well as strengthen bids to attract new business to the state, said Misty Weisensteiner, director of IOTD.
