How many Indy 500 races have you been to? For Bill Kearns, of Flora, the 106th running this month will be his 75th race attended.
The event is chock-full of traditions that Hoosiers and those who travel to"The Greatest Spectacle in Racing" have come to love."My family has been to every race since 1911," Kearns said.
"Being with the family members, that's super special, especially the older you get," Kearns said."I'm 85, so I started when I was 10. My son, he went to about 35 straight, started at 10. 10 is a benchmark. Grandson was 10 and he's only missed one since he started and he's 26." Kearns was there to see A.J. Foyt in ’77, Al Unser in ’87, Rick Mears in ’91 and Helio Castroneves in '21 win their fourth Indy 500s.
"I do have a bucket list. I've never ridden around the track there. I'd like to do that in one of those race cars that they drive you around."
