As this year would mark the centenarian year since the first race ever took place from all those years ago at the venue. The speedway in the mean while is located in Indiana in United States.

It is the celebrated location of the Indianapolis 500-Mile Race as well as the Brickyard 400.The United States Postal Service’s 2011 Commemorative Stamp Program has in fact listed this stamp honoring the speed track in Indiana. It is among the twenty five subjects that United States Postal Service has chosen to be highlighted. The Marmon "Wasp" vintage race car will thus be visible on the stamps that will come across as pleasant to most. The "Forever stamp," is the same in value as the First Class Mail 1-ounce letter. It will continue to be so and the price change won’t affect the stamp’s value in any which ways.
