The biggest reminder of the Month of May at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is visible on the Indianapolis skyline, as Verizon IndyCar Series owner-driver Ed Carpenter helped to finish the installation today of a huge graphic celebrating the 102nd Indianapolis 500 presented by PennGrade Motor Oil on the façade of the JW Marriott Indianapolis hotel. 

The graphic, which is more than 16 stories tall, features the event logo for the 102nd Running of “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing,” the phrase THIS IS INDY. THIS IS MAY. and logos of IMS and the Verizon IndyCar Series. 

This is the third consecutive year the sleek, glass façade at the JW Marriott Indianapolis has featured a decal with a massive Month of May message for Central Indiana residents and visitors from around the world who will flock to the INDYCAR Grand Prix on Saturday, May 12 and the 102nd Indianapolis 500 presented by PennGrade Motor Oil on Sunday, May 27 at IMS. Indianapolis-based Sport Graphics has completed the project all three years.
