On May 20, 2011, the USPS issued a sheet of forever stamps celebrating the Indianapolis 500, honoring its 100th anniversary. The stamp depicts Ray Harroun in the Marmon “Wasp,” which he designed and drove to victory in the inaugural 1911 race. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway, established in 1909, evolved from early races to host the iconic 500-mile event, known as “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” Over the years, it faced challenges but was revitalized by Tony Hulman, whose family continues to own it today. The stamps are a great collectible for racing fans and collectors.
