You’ve never seen Indy quite like this. You may recall illustrator Marty Davis’ awesome recap of the 24 Hours of the Nurburgring (and if you don’t, definitely check that out). Now he’s applied his unique perspective to the personalities and happenings surrounding the 2017 Indianapolis 500.

The 25 images in Davis’ sketchbook, complete with captions, tell the story of the 101st 500 from start to finish, from a Wednesday visit to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum to traditions like Carb Day to the dramatic race itself.

We sent illustrator Marty Davis to the 2017 Indianapolis 500. He returned with this unique look at the Greatest Spectacle in Racing.

The scaled-down images in the gallery above don’t do Davis’ sketches justice -- we’ve embedded the collection in PDF form at the bottom so you can take in all the detail.
