McMurray also won the Daytona 500, and Dario Franchitti brought Ganassi the other Indianapolis win.
Pole-vaulter Kelsie Ahbe was one of 13 athletes to qualify for the International Association of Athletics Federations Junior World Championships.

Jimmie Johnson seems to be always hanging around, waiting to take advantage of another driver’s miscue to take the lead — and the race.

The only quarterback ever to lead IU to victories against Michigan and Ohio State in the same season has been inducted into the Indiana Football Hall of Fame — but that’s only part of the story.
