The IndyCar race at the Indy 500 is just a small piece of race weekend at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Daily concerts, fan experiences, historic cars on track, parades, presentations and an hours-long opening ceremony are all part of the mix. And that doesn't even address the rest of the races and happenings throughout the month of May.  Here's a look at some of the goings on at the track for race weekend.
