The Indianapolis Motor Speedway has announced that it will not be running its annual Historic Racing Exhibition Laps, in conjunction with this year’s Indy 500.
IMS officials stated:
Update on the 2021 Indianapolis Historic Racing Exhibition: Due to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, state and local guidelines, and the need to provide our vintage racing partners with advance notice, IMS and IMS Museum officials have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2021 IHRE at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. We look forward to bringing the event back, better than ever, into the traditional Indianapolis 500 weekend schedule in 2022.
