Indianapolis Motor Speedway replaces iconic scoring pylon
Just ahead of the upcoming NASCAR weekend, Indianapolis Motor Speedway is upgrading the frontstretch scoring pylon. On Monday, track officials used a crane to remove the current scoring plyon, which has been in service at the famed speedway since 1994.
As they say, out with the old and in with the new.
