Indianapolis, IN (PRWeb) March 12, 2007 -- Indianapolis and Sporting Woman magazine will be offering one of their lucky national readers (and guest) the chance to experience Indianapolis and the largest single-day sporting event in the world, Indy 500, up-close and personal Memorial Day weekend. Via a police escort, the winner will zoom into the famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway in a custom Indy racecar with two tickets to the Indy 500 and a private tour of the pits and garage area.

While in Indianapolis, the winner will further their Indy weekend sporting experience by golfing Pete Dye's challenging Brickyard at the Crossing course, shooting hoops with basketball legend Bobby Plump, who hit the last second, game-winning shot featured in the basketball movie "Hoosiers," and taking a private tour alongside the head curator of the National Art Museum of Sport, which houses the largest collection of sport-related art in the nation.
