RIGHT,
RIGHT, ANGELA. THANK YOU. WELL, IT IS HALLOWED GROUND FOR RACING A TEMPLE THAT'S BUILT TO
HOLD HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
FANS. BUT THIS WEEKEND THESE
STANDS WILL REMAIN EMPTY AS
INDYCAR AND NASCAR TEAM UP FOR
A REALLY GREAT WEEKEND OF
RACES. YEAH, THIS REALLY IS A
HISTORIC FIRST FOR MOTOR
SPEEDWAY. WE'VE GOT TEAM
COVERAGE FOR YOU TONIGHT OF A
BIG WEEKEND WHICH INCLUDES THIS
PLAN TO KEEP DRIVERS, THEIR
TEAMS AND THE MEDIA ALL SAFE.
SO LET'S BEGIN TODAY AT 5:00
WITH OUR DAVE CALABRO.
EVERYBODY, IT'S A HISTORIC
WEEKEND AT THE INDIANAPOLIS
MOTOR SPEEDWAY. DON'T YOU LOVE
THAT SOUND? INDY CAR BACK ON
TRACK WITH THE PROPERTY OF
INDIANAPOLIS WHICH SATURDAY AT
NOON ON CHANNEL 13 EXPEDITORS
WILL BE ON TRACK AS WELL.
YOU'LL SEE THAT RACE ON CHANNEL
13 AND OF COURSE THE BIG RACE
SUNDAY FOUR O'CLOCK THE
BRICKYARD 400 GETS WEIRD HAVING
NO FANS IN THE STANDS, THE
DRIVERS GETTING USED TO THAT
TOO. WE LOVE OUR OUR
SUPPORTERS. WE LOVE EVERYONE
THAT COMES TO OUR RACES
CERTAINLY YOU KNOW IN MY
HOMETOWN. IS MY HOME RACE. THIS
IS A RACE THAT I'M DYING TO
WIN. I WOULD LOVE TO BE
SUCCESSFUL THERE AND THEN
CELEBRATE WITH PEOPLE THAT YOU
KNOW ARE OUR INDIANA PEOPLE AS
WELL. SO IT IS WHAT IT IS.
WE'VE GOT WE'VE GOT TO STILL
OBVIOUSLY PUT ON THE BEST SHOW
THAT WE CAN. WELL, IT SOUNDS
AND LOOKS A LITTLE BIZARRE. BUT
AGAIN, IT'S STRANGE NOT HAVING
YOU THE FANS HERE. WE'VE GOT
OUR FACE MASK. WE'RE SOCIAL
DISTANCING. WE'RE NOT ALLOWED
DOWN IN THE PIT AREA. WE'LL BE
DOING INTERVIEWS BY ZOOM. LOTS
OF CHANGES FOR THE WEEKEND.
TAYLOR TANNEBAUM. MORE ON THAT
.YEAH, AS DAVE MENTIONED OF
COURSE. NO FANS ACCESS IS
EXTREMELY LIMITED. I'M JUST
OUTSIDE THE TRACK RIGHT NOW.
RIGHT UP 30TH STREET WHICH IS
ONE OF THE FEW DESIGNATED
ENTRANCES THIS WEEKEND. AND
JUST TO GET INSIDE THESE GATES,
THERE ARE SEVERAL HEALTH AND
SAFETY PROTOCOLS IN PLACE.
OBVIOUSLY VERY DIFFERENT RACE
WEEKEND. YOUR INDIANAPOLIS
MOTOR SPEEDWAY, A LOT MORE
PROTOCOLS IN PLACE FOR WHEN WE
HEAD INTO THE TRACK. I'M GOING
SHOW YOU EXACTLY WHAT WE HAVE
TO GO THROUGH IN ORDER TO GET
THROUGH THE GATES. SO WE'VE GOT
THREE LOCATIONS WHERE FOLKS CAN
COME IN TERMS LOCATION
SPECIFICALLY FOR NASCAR
LOCATIONS ARE SPECIFICALLY FOR
INDYCAR. SO EVERYBODY IT'S IN
THE GARAGE OUR PIT LANE AND THE
FOLKS LIKE US THAT ARE OUT HERE
ON THE PERIMETER. WE HAVE ONE
ON OUR OWN. SO THE IDEA REALLY
WAS TO TRY AND KEEP ALL OF
THOSE GROUPS OF PEOPLE
SEPARATED WAITING AT EVERY
ENTRANCE IS A CHECKPOINT. FIRST
THING'S FIRST FILLING OUT A
MEDICAL QUESTIONNAIRE NO FEVER,
NO CHILLS. NEXT STOP YOUR
TEMPERATURE IS TAKEN UNDER ONE
HUNDRED POINT FOUR DEGREES AND
YOU'RE IN. SO MY YOU KNOW BUT
THAT'S NOT THE END OF THE ROAD.
ONE MORE TEMPERATURE TIME TO GO
BEFORE WE GO IN BEFORE HEADING
INSIDE THE BUILDING. MASKS ARE
REQUIRED. TEMPERATURES ARE
TAKEN ONE MORE TIME AND WHEN IT
COMES TO THE TEAMS AT THE
DRIVERS THEY TOO ARE PRACTICING
SOCIAL DISTANCING INDYCAR AND
NASCAR ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CROSS
PATHS YET TOTALLY SEPARATE THE
GATORS SO THE GARAGES ARE
SEPARATE AND THEY AREN'T
INDYCAR DRIVERS AREN'T GOING IN
THE NASCAR ROGERS NASCAR
DRIVERS AREN'T GOING IN THE
INDY HOSPITALITY AND
TRANSPORTERS ARE COMPLETELY
SEPARATED AND EVEN WHEN THEY'RE
TRANS TRANSITIONING ON THE PIT
LANE THEY'RE COMPLETELY
SEPARATE. SO WE'RE DOING
EVERYTHING WE CAN TO MAKE SURE
THAT THAT EVERYBODY IS PAYING
ATTENTION TO THE VIRUS AND
MAKING SURE THAT WE AREN'T
TAKING IT FROM ONE GROUP FOLKS
AND GIVING IT TO ANOTHER. SO A
VERY DIFFERENT WEEKEND OUT HERE
AT IMF FOR SURE. NO FANS HAVE
EXTRA HEALTH AND SAFETY
PROTOCOLS IN PLACE. BUT THE
SILVER LINING IS WE'VE GOT CARS
ON TRACK. YOU CAN KIND OF HERE
IN THE DISTANCE AND RACING IS
BACK. GUYS REALLY INTERESTING
TO SEE THAT BEHIND THE SCENES
LOOK, TAYLOR. THANKS SO MUCH.
NOW WE KNOW THIS BRICKYARD 400
WILL NOT BE THE SAME ON SUNDAY
WITHOUT FANS IN THE STANDS.
TRUE, BUT THERE IS STILL A WAY
TO SHOW YOUR RACING SPIRIT.
THIS WEEKEND RESTAURANTS IN
DOWNTOWN SPEEDWAY ARE HOSTING
RACE THEMED COCKTAIL CONTESTS
PLUS A BIKE PARADE FOR KIDS AND
DINNER AND DRINK SPECIALS. ALSO
YOU CAN SHARE YOUR FAVORITE
RACING MOMENTS AND MEMORIES.
JUST USE THE HASHTAG BACKYARD
BRICKYARD. ALSO WANT TO LET YOU
KNOW YOU CAN WATCH THE INDYCAR
NASCAR DOUBLEHEADER LIVE RIGHT
HERE ON CHANNEL 13 THIS
WEEKEND. THE GRAND PRIX IS AT
NOON ON SATURDAY THEN ON
SUNDAY. BE SURE TO TUNE INTO
THE BIG MACHINE HAND SANITIZER
