What they say

Hide

this truck that came out of the secret basement of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum, and we're with Luke Edwards, and he's going to take us to the restoration shop. The former owners of the track, the Hulman family, were involved in the start of a racing team called Hal Racing. They have two small buildings there that were perfectly suited for car restoration. So, this will be the first former IndyCar racing garage we'll be visiting . I didn't even know. It's definitely not the first, but it's probably one of the last that's still intact and, you know, still has the main structure standing . The first one we've been to. We haven't done anything personal in IndyCar , and right now we have a very special IndyCar. Which of these buildings was the first workshop? Both. Both?
