#2: Indy 500

As one of the biggest races in the United States, fans come to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to enjoy the loud sounds of the Formula 1 cars speeding around the track.

“I get so excited when I see the racers pull out with their cars. Hearing the roar of the engine, and having to wear something to protect your ears so they don’t explode, is my kind of fun. I can’t imagine anything else that would amuse me as much as seeing a pile-up of cars, and seeing all the cars crash,” senior citizen and dedicated NASCAR fan Roe Jogan said.

#1: Daytona 500

Similar to the Indy 500 in Indianapolis, the Daytona 500 takes place in Daytona, Florida.
