May kind of sneaks up on you, doesn't it? In a good way. We'll be doing a lot out at the track this year, so racing fans and Klipsch fans alike, stay tuned! Lots of fun giveaways and cool photos gallore. In the meantime...enjoy your weekend!
I got to hang out at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway this afternoon with these two characters for a headphone photoshoot. Courteous, funny, and down-to-earth, I'm proud to work with them as spokesmen who truly love our brand. Overheard on the ride...
I think I've mentioned in this blog once or twice how much I love the Indy 500 . I'm not really a racing fan, but the tradition and history of the Brickyard has always left me sentimental. When you grow up in this town, it's hard to avoid...
Wake me when it's May. I wouldn't miss the Indianapolis 500 festivities for anything, plus every year it marks the start of warm weather. And I've about had it with the single digits. I still get goosebumps when I hear this quaint little tune...
I know I said I was wrapping up this series, but I didn't actually anticipate having a shot of the winner. But alas, I do. Since this is his 3rd win at the track, I'm officially classifying Dario Franchitti as a legend. History will agree with...
There is no bigger name at the Indy 500 than Texas-native A. J. Foyt . Not one. None. Never. Ever. Which is why he is wrapping up this series. A.J's career as a driver at the yard o' bricks has spanned 5 decades, from 1958 to 1993, with 35 consecutive...
The Andretti family is not only legendary at the track, but a dynasty to boot. There has been an Andretti (Mario, Michael, Jeff, John, and/or Marco) competing in the 500 every year but 8 since 1965. That's 39 years of Andrettis in May. Exactly how...
In case you hadn't heard, Danica won't be participating in this year's race. She's left us for the NASCAR circuit, which is a little weird, but ok. The current ladies of the field include Simona de Silvestro in her third appearance, Ana...
Indy loves Brazilian-born Hélio Castroneves , but perhaps not at first. It took three 500 wins (and a bit of Dancing with the Stars ) for the crowd to really warm to his fence-climbing ways. He adds a rare enthusiasm that's truly contagious...
Looking over Eddie Cheever 's "Rookie of the Year" debut at Indy in 1990, the field reads like a veritable "who's who" of racing: Arie Luyendyk, Bobby Rahal, Emerson Fittipaldi, Al Unser, Jr., Rick Mears, A.J. Foyt, Al Unser...
He may not a be a legend yet, but being a pole sitter automatically qualifies you in my book. Australian driver Ryan Briscoe is seen here relaxing in the shade before practice. As much as these guys can "relax" before driving 226.484 mph anyway...
I spent a great afternoon at the speedway today, gearing up for Indy's crazy month of May. Although I enjoy it immensely, I'm not one to frequent the track. Too hot, too crowded, to hassley. But if an opportunity presents itself, I usually take...
