The Greatest Spectacle in Racing | Proud to Be A Hoosier

 There is something special about being a Hoosier in the month of May.

The energy across Indiana changes. The weather begins to warm, families gather, traditions come alive, and the eyes of the world turn toward one place — the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. For more than a century, Indiana has proudly hosted the Indianapolis 500, known around the globe as “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.”

For Hoosiers, the Indy 500 is more than a race. It is part of our identity.

From the singing of Back Home Again in Indiana to the roar of engines echoing across Speedway, the Indianapolis 500 represents hard work, innovation, resilience, and tradition — values that define Indiana itself. Generations of families have grown up attending the race, hosting cookouts, wearing checkered flags, and sharing stories of unforgettable finishes and legendary drivers.

Indiana has always been a state built by people who believe in craftsmanship, determination, and community. The same spirit that helped shape the automotive industry, manufacturing, agriculture, and small business growth across our state is on full display every Memorial Day weekend.

The Indianapolis 500 also reminds us that greatness can come from the Midwest. While larger cities often dominate headlines, Indiana quietly continues to lead through innovation, hospitality, and authenticity. Few events in the world bring together tradition and technology like the Indy 500. From engineering breakthroughs to precision teamwork, it showcases excellence at the highest level.

But perhaps the most meaningful part of race weekend is the deeper purpose behind it.

Held during Memorial Day weekend, the Indianapolis 500 serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who have served our country. Before the green flag waves, the entire Speedway pauses in unity to honor those who gave everything for the freedoms we enjoy today. It is one of the most powerful traditions in all of sports.

As Hoosiers, we can take pride not only in hosting an internationally recognized event, but also in the values it represents — perseverance, patriotism, family, and community.

Whether you are attending the race in person, listening on the radio, watching with family, or simply enjoying the traditions that come with Memorial Day weekend, today is a reminder of what makes Indiana special.

We are proud to be Hoosiers.
And we are proud to call Indiana the home of the greatest spectacle in racing.

Dental Work | Importance of Routine Dental Care | Preventative Dental Care

Importance of Routine Dental Care  When I was in my 30s and a dentist told me I needed a few crowns , I decided to skip the expensive devices because of my meager paycheck. Besides, my teeth weren't hurting. Years later, I am paying the price in pain and costlier dental work . One of the damaged teeth that needed a crown distorted my bite, making a minor jaw-joint problem even worse. Unfortunately I'm far from alone. The price of dental care is steep for many people financially, physically and even socially, according to Marko Vujicic, chief economist and vice president of the Health Policy Institute at the American Dental Association. Vujicic said that the  majority of emergency room dental visits  were for infections that could be handled in a dentist's office. Overall, emergency room dental visits cost $1.9 billion yearly, 40 percent of which is public money, according to his institute's analysis of data from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quali...
