To celebrate Indy 500 Racing's 100th anniversary the Centennial Tour visited troops and their families all over the world. One of their stops was Incirlik, Turkey. I was so grateful to them for their visit. Being so far away from home, it felt good to see something the resembled where I am from. I mostly went for my dad, but it was also cool to see the only Indy racing legend I know, Mario Andretti. When I got home of course my dad knew all of them I mentioned...go figure!

This man (I forgot his name) saw Nolan's Hoosier sweatshirt and took an interest in us. He helped us out by getting us free t-shirts and an already signed poster of all the racers. Turns out he was from Muncie. I wish I would have had more time to visit with him....and remember his name! Very nice man though!
