Take the Flag

Black and White | part 1 of 2

It's racing season in Indianapolis! Fans of the 500 know the series of flags that help communicate to the drivers as they speed around the track. Together the colors lead drivers to victory. We know green means go; when you see yellow you drive with caution; and red means stop. A white flag lets drivers know they have only one more lap, and black one tells a driver to exit the track. The next two weekends at The Garden, we will consider what it takes to capture victory in the checkered flag. Join us Sunday as we seek to “Take the Flag.”
