Just found this while cleaning up my office. I love talking about the 500.
The first 4 Mays after coming to WIBC I had driver guests on with Pidge and Terri from 9 to 10.
Jeff was kind enough to pass along a copy to myself and Jon Quick the Program Director. Jon and I were released on the same day. March 5, 2009
We were taping promos for WIBC pre and post game coverage which were to run on Ch. 8.
Taken in front of the RCA Dome.
Here we are in front of the radio Disney Studio’s where we did our show. It was a great trip!

I wonder how many pork chops he had when he left the pork tent?
Joe gets a couple of ears
Big Joe wears a Browns t-shirt because (a) he’s from Cleveland but (b) and most important, it was free

Zupe interviews the winner, Big Joe. 51 ribs!
One of my favorite pictures. Terri tearing them up. I belive she ate 34 or 36 ribs.
Here we see the “Hancock County Hurricane” Terri Stacy, being introduced to the crowd with her Colts Cheerleaders escort.
Finally! A chair Big Joe has some wiggle room in!
Here’s the 2007 Indiana State Fair Queen with a little fan
Here’s the Fair Queen being a fan with the Jonas Bros. who were interviewed on the show. This is a dressing room underneath the Grandstand stage in the infield at the Fairgrounds
We ran into Kelly McMaines who has been a guest on the show numerous times
In the Pioneer Village, make sure you see and talk to Possum Molly! Great deals and an interesting conversation

My favorite, Me and Molly
The above famous phase was uttered without thought at the end of one of Elvi’s concerts and went on to be a big part of every Elvis performance for years. It’s writer and performer was Al Dvorin. (pictured below in the WIBC studio’s when he appeared on my show.
According to Al, Col. Parker asked him to go up when the band had finished playing Elvis off stage at the end of the show, and let people know, that was it. Elvis had left there would be no more show that night. This also served to hustle folks to the t-shirt tables too:)
Elvis and Al Dvorin. Al used to be the leader of a Big Band that backed Elvis in the 50’s. That’s how they first met.
Mel McMahon was released by traffic.com following the afternoon show on Monday. We wish her all the best and will be in touch to lend a hand.
Here is Mel(foreground right) with Terri Stacy(Left) and me(looking for a key to hit in the dark), during a Colts Pre-Game Show in the Hurst Bean Lot. Taken fall of 2008

Big Joe Staysniak and I prepare to do our afternoon show on WIBC from the Garage area in May. We were mobile and….slightly adgile. (Photo by Ernie Mills)
I have to admit, it was weird seeing the IndyCars use these spaces.
Here we see Buddy Rice(back to camera) talking with Larry Curry of DRR. You can see the #15 car in the F1/Moto GP garage area.
The fall IndyCar Sreies test took advantage of the Moto GP garages being available.
Donald Davidson and Nicky Hayden talk about his laps in the pre race to promote the first Moto GP event that fall.
89′ & 93′ winner and pace car driver Emerson Fittipaldi stops by the booth to describe his race duties.
Gov. Mitch Daniels made his yearly visit to the IMS Radio Network Booth on raceday 2008. This has been a long standing tradition which is cool to be a part of.
Dave Lewandowski talks with Townsend Bell after his ride was announced. Dave writes a tremendous amount of information filled articles at http://www.indycar.com
