Sign Craft at the Indianapolis 500

The Indianapolis 500 is one of the cornerstones of  Indianapolis culture and is  responsible for bringing an incredible amount of business and dollars to our community.  Indianapolis benefits not just in the month of May, but throughout the year.  Many of the race teams are headquartered in our fair city and purchase products locally and provide a large employment base.

Through the efforts of Mike Ford and our Quick Sign division, Sign Craft has continually increased our involvement with the speedway and certain of the teams.  We count ourselves fortunate to have Mike with us.  Mike has over 20 years in the sign business and also the racing business (he started both when he was 4) Presently, Mike is deeply involved with Andretti Autosports as a spotter for Tony Kanaan. It is a true delight to watch the live in-car streaming during a race on IndyCar Nation and listen to Mike's calls.

Mr. Ford is a true gentleman and a great ambassador for Sign Craft.  His genuine passion has earned Mike many friends in both his chosen fields.  Because of these relationships, Quick Sign has become respected partners with Andretti Autoports Andretti Web Page, Fazzt Race Team Fazzt web page and Conquest Racing Conquest web site.  Quick Sign Continues to work with these teams to meet their signage needs and appreciates their continued support.  In the month of May, Quick Sign provided the signage for several of the garages both internally and externally and other incidental sign needs.  In addition, Sign Craft has provided both exterior and interior signage for their headquarters.

Sign Craft was also extremely honored and excited to provide the background signage for the ABC/ESPN coverage of the race.  It was awesome for all of us to turn on the broadcast and see the fruits of our labor hanging next to Brent Musberger. 

We look forward to expanding our participation in this great event and giving back to those that give back to our great city.
