💨 Abstract

On the day of the 2025 Indianapolis 500, fans like Austin Pettijohn wore a mix of racing and Indiana Pacers attire, reflecting the dual sports culture in Indiana. Families attend the 500 as a tradition, often dressed in unique racing garb. The Indy 500 and Pacers game both being on the same day created a scheduling challenge, leading to the lifting of the local TV blackout.
