Indy 500, Collector's Series

This official commemorative poster celebrates the 75th anniversary of the Indianapolis 500, honoring the race’s evolution from its first running on May 30, 1911 to the modern speed and spectacle of Indy car racing. The main image recalls the earliest days of the Brickyard, with spectators in straw boater hats, white suits, and long dresses gathered beside vintage automobiles as open wheeled racers thunder across the famous brick surface, named for the 3.2 million paving bricks laid in 1909. Attributed to Bernie Fuchs, a celebrated American illustrator, the poster brings a painterly warmth to the history of motorsport. Three smaller vignettes trace the transformation of the race across decades, from early roadsters and the iconic pagoda to the sleek modern machines that pushed speeds far beyond the 100 mph pace of the first Indy 500. The result is both nostalgic and dynamic, capturing the tradition, danger, and innovation that made Indianapolis Motor Speedway legendary. Part of the Official Poster Collector’s Series, this piece is a sanctioned tribute to one of America’s most important sporting events. Rich in racing history and Americana, it honors the Brickyard’s enduring place in American culture, from its genteel early race day atmosphere to its high speed modern legacy.
