BRIAN’S WISH
Brian is a race fan in the St. Vincent's Hospice in Indianapolis. A grass roots effort started by his primary caregiver
and picked up by race fans at www.trackforum.com has resulted in the Brian’s Wish program - www.brianswish.com.
Thanks to this grassroots effort many drivers, including Eddie Cheever, Sarah Fisher and Robbie Buhl have visited Brian
at the hospice. Also it is expected that almost every starter in the 2002 Indianapolis 500 will carry a special Brian's Wish
decal. Brian's Wish is for an increased awareness of the disease ALS and an increased effort to finding a cure for the
disease. Thanks to Brian and the racing community steps are being taken to make Brian's Wish come true.
BRIAN’S WISH RUNOFFS

Drivers with fastest 3-laps on each track will go to the podium for an Olympic-style medal ceremony with Bronze, Silver and
Gold medals being awarded. Spectators and drivers will have the opportunity to win prizes throughout the night.
