“The reception of our racing program on a national level has been outstanding,” said Eric Halstrom, vice president and general manager of racing at Indiana Grand. “The entire team has worked through some very difficult times to ensure operations are meeting all requirements set by the state due to Covid-19 protocols. It’s really rewarding to all of us to have racing fans be so invested inour racing product. It sure sets the tone for our entire season and we are working hard to keep that momentum going.”
