The Indy 500 will look a lot different in 2020. After being rescheduled from May to August, the biggest difference is that fans are not allowed to watch in person. While this might be a huge bummer for families who have made a tradition out of attending the race in person, we have a few ideas for your family to still make this weekend a racing celebration worthy of being a Hoosier. And who knows--maybe you'll start some new traditions!

Start your engines!


          


6 Race-Themed Foods to Celebrate Race Weekend:

1. Spare Tires Start your day by picking up donuts from a local Hendricks County donut shop. Or, brave a trip to Speedway to get Long's. (Remember to take cash!)

2. Apple Cars Slice an apple for the car body and either two grapes or two circle-shaped slices of cheese for wheels. Attach wheels with toothpicks. Try not to play with your food!

3. Stop Light Fruit Kabobs Cut watermelon, bananas, and kiwi into circles and stick onto skewers.

4. Carb Day Carbonara Pasta Evangelists have a creamy "Carbonara of Dreams" recipe full of the best kind of carbs.

5. Dip Sticks Dip pretzel rods in melted chocolate chips. Add sprinkles for extra fun!

6. Checkered Flag Cookies Get the recipe from I Shot the Chef. Perfect dessert to pair with a glass of milk!
