IMS Museum Cancels Induction & Oldtimers Dinner

INDIANAPOLIS – Officials from Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum and Indianapolis 500 Oldtimers Club have announced the cancellation of the IMS Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony/500 Oldtimers Special Recognition Dinner presented by Firestone.

The event, which normally takes place three days before the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge, had been rescheduled to Thursday, Aug. 20.

The Indianapolis 500 Oldtimers Club manages ticket sales for the event; anyone with a ticket for the 2020 dinner, which would have honored new IMS Hall of Fame inductees Janet Guthrie and Dale Earnhardt, as well as the living multi-time Indianapolis 500-winning car owners, should contact the Oldtimers Club for a refund at [email protected].

Guthrie and Earnhardt are now members of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame, and they will be honored for their contributions to IMS along with the 2021 IMS Hall of Fame class.

The 2021 IMS Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony/500 Oldtimers Special Recognition Dinner presented by Firestone is scheduled to take place Thursday, May 27 at the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown.
