The Legend Continues! The Lucas Oil Indy Mile AMA Pro Flat Track Grand National
WHAT: The Legend Continues! The Lucas Oil Indy Mile AMA Pro Flat Track Grand National is ready to roar again at the legendary Indy Mile track at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis, Indiana on Saturday, August 28th, 2010. The Lucas Oil Indy Mile returns as a featured event of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s Red Bull Indianapolis GP weekend.
Glorious memories of the Indy Mile go back for decades. Top riders have always highly coveted a win at this race, long considered the “Crown Jewel” of AMA Pro Racing’s oldest and most traditional professional racing series. After a hiatus that began in 1999, the race returned to the Indiana State Fairgrounds in 2008 to record-breaking crowds. In 2009, a near-capacity crowd again returned to witness another night of sliding, drafting and handlebar-to-handlebar duels at 100 plus mph speeds.
As a special treat in 2009, motorcycle racing legend “King” Kenny Roberts electrified the crowd with a no-holds barred, high-revving 3-lap curtain call on the infamous Yamaha TZ-750 he rode to victory in 1975. It was another “Indy Mile Moment” to be savored by fans for years to come.
Valentino Rossi and other top Moto GP riders cheered on Roberts while marveling at the guts and skill of today’s flat track stars.
Harley-Davidson factory rider and three-time AMA Pro Flat Track Grand National Champion Kenny Coolbeth of Morris, Connecticut won the 2009 Lucas Oil Indy Mile main event in the Expert Twins class. J.D. Beach on a Honda won the AMA Pro Singles main event in 2009.
