81-Year-Old Racing Fan Has Been to Every Indy 500 Since 1952

Bob Skorjanc has been to every Indianapolis 500 since 1952.

He has never missed a race.

In 2020, even a global pandemic couldn’t stop him from getting to the Brickyard in person.

He recalls, “We struck our feet underneath the fence and then held onto the fence so that our feet were inside the track so we could say we were there for that year.”

The 81-year-old is a now-retired Registered Nurse.

He spends his free time working on collectors cars.
