’22 Indy 500 Ticket Celebrates Castroneves Fourth Win, Revealed At PRI 2021
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) has unveiled its 2022 Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge ticket design with a presentation during the 2021 Performance Racing Industry (PRI) Trade Show on Thursday during the PRI Happy Hour event in Lucas Oil Stadium.
The ticket honors four-time Indy 500 winner Helio Castroneves, who was on-hand during the presentation along with PRI President Dr. Jamie Meyer, IMS President Doug Boles, and IMS Creative Director Mandy Walsh. The tickets were provided by the IMS Ticket Office and longtime “500” fan Matt Converset of Decatur, Indiana.
Castroneves, who won this year’s race driving the pink-and-black No. 06 AutoNation/SiriusXM Honda of Meyer Shank Racing, got his first look at the design of IMS Art Director Mandy Walsh.
The artistic shot taken by IMS Photo Operations Manager Chris Owens shows Castroneves with the symbols of his record-tying “500” victory: Four fingers raised, the traditional winner’s wreath, the Borg-Warner Trophy, and a portion of his winning car in the background. In his previous images, Castroneves is raising the ceremonial bottle of milk in victory lane.
“Every time you (see the ticket), it brings you memories that we did something remarkable,” Castroneves said.
Tickets featuring the historic image will be mailed soon to fans in all 50 states and countries worldwide as IMS prepares to welcome a full capacity of fans “Back Home Again” next May.
