The 100th anniversary of the Indianapolis 500 is being celebrated with a new Forever stamp. Ray Harroun, winner of the first Indianapolis 500, is pictured on the stamp driving his Marmon Wasp. The first-day-of-issue dedication ceremony took place at the Speedway as a prelude to Fast Friday, the qualification runs for the 100th Indianapolis 500.
Joining Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe in dedicating the stamp were Greg Ballard, Indianapolis mayor; Jeff Belskus, Indianapolis Motor Speedway president; Duane "Poncho" Carter Jr., 1974 Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year; and Dave Calabro, Indianapolis Motor Speedway announcer.
