A Host and Storyteller for Your Guests at the Indy 500

You already have the suite, the chalet or the passes. I'm Robert Earl, I have been at every Indianapolis 500 since 2000, and I can host your guests at your pre-race event and guide them on race day so they understand what they are watching.

What Robert does for your guests

I work inside the event you have already planned, for the guests you have invited.

At your pre-race event

  • Welcome your guests and walk them through the day ahead
  • Tell the stories of the Speedway, the 500 and the drivers working their way up
  • Take questions from first-timers and lifelong fans alike

On race day

  • Host or guide your guests around the access you have
  • Show them what to watch for, from the pit stops to the traditions before the green flag
  • Answer the questions that come up as the day unfolds

Why Robert

  • I have been at every Indianapolis 500 since 2000.
  • I have never sat in the same seat twice. I have tent camped in Speedway, Indiana, watched from the Coke lot and seen the race from the paddock penthouse, so I can tell your guests what the 500 looks like from all over the place.
  • I created 33 Dreams of Indy, a series of interviews with drivers on their way up the Road to Indy. It started at my first race as credentialed media in 2019.
  • I'm a fan first. I started on a pit crew at fifteen, and a tear still comes to my eye every year during Back Home Again in Indiana.

Which races

The Indianapolis 500 comes first. It is the race I know best. I'm also glad to host at other IndyCar, IMSA, NASCAR or Formula 1 events by arrangement. Tell me the race and the date, and we can see what fits.
