We have reached the Twenty fifth day. It began with us visiting our sponsors from Hankook tires at Tire Rack headquarters in South Bend, Indiana. Tire Rack is one of the largest online distributors for tires in the US. We are thankful for the support Hankook has given us and thank you to Tire Rack for hosting us and letting us visit the facility. Tire Rack had a test track that sales employees use to test the tires so they have the knowledge of the tires performance. We drove a little on the track with the I.D. 4 and had a good experience. Then we saw lots of dust on the roadside to discover it was someone riding an ATV. We had the pleasure of meeting Logan Stanfield, a nationally ranked ATV motocross racer. He jumped next to the I.D. 4 with his quad on his private track and we got an amazing photo. It’s amazing to see how many telephone poles there are lines across these long roads. Continuing onward we drove on some gravel roads. We got a cool drone shot of us driving down this long country road. Even on the gravel roads, the EV specific Kinergy AS X tires were performing great on the gravel road. Suddenly, we came across an exclusive Polo game that was astonishingly open to the public. We were able to spectate shortly and take some pictures of the match. There were many people selling interesting handmade crafts outside. Evening fell but we still had the chance to stop at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It opened in 1909 and is home of the most notable NASCAR race, the Indianapolis 500. It is the largest sports venue in the world. We then parked next to a nicely designed solar powered flower, next to the speedway.
