The listing, Forever Stamps Book of 20 Indianapolis 500 NEW FREE SHIPPING! has ended.
On May 30, 1911, Ray Harroun blazed across the finish line at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, winning the first Indianapolis 500 Mile Race in #32, the black-and-yellow Marmon "Wasp" he designed himself. This Indianapolis 500 (ForeverĀ®) stamp celebrates the centennial of that race, an American tradition now billed as "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing" and hailed as one of the most significant auto races in the world.
This 2011 stamp depicts Ray Harroun in the customized yellow-and-black "Wasp" in which he won the first Indianapolis 500 in 1911. The car was built by the Indianapolis-based Marmon Motor Car Company and included one of Harroun's own inventions, the rearview mirror. Today, the car is a prime attraction at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum.
In 1927, the founders sold the Speedway to a group led by World War I flying ace and fellow entrepreneur Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker. In the decades that followed, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway contended with the financial hardships of the Great Depression, and World War II forced the closing of the track. Forever stamps are always equal in value to the current First-Class Mail one-ounce rate.
