Indy 500 Eliminating Balloon Release
(Indianapolis, IN) — The Indianapolis 500 isn’t bringing back the balloon release. Race managers yesterday told the Indianapolis Star that they are not planning for a release this year, and are looking at ending the tradition for good. Environmentalists say releasing thousands of balloons hurts birds and other animals. The 500’s VP of Communications says that’s something they’ve heard for years, and something they now recognize.
