We filmed the MotoGP riders playing a little round-ball at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, home of the Indiana Pacers in downtown Indianapolis. This cultural event, hosted by the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, allowed the racers a chance to scrimmage on the pristine basketball court before MotoGP race weekend on August 8-10, 2014.
We have an appreciation for racers who started out with modest equipment and banged bars all the way to the top. We like seeing champions whose past includes hard-fought wins on family-owned bikes with hand-painted number plates.
MotoGP champ Nicky Hayden had the honors of testing the newly paved turns at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Our cameras were rolling as the Ducati Superbike 1198 SP came in and out of the garage for adjustments made by Ducati Indianapolis’ mechanics and techs.
In the Spring of 2008, we attended Nicky Hayden’s inaugural lap of the new MotoGP circuit at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Here’s a behind-the-scenes vid of that special day.
Thanks to Mel Harder, Senior VP of Operations at IMS, we were able to show up with the Media to film this little memento and take a lap on our motorcycles. It was a goosebump-inducing trip down the straightaway and over the yard of bricks. The first lap on a motorcycle was reserved for the Kentucky Kid, which helped set the stage for the following years of MotoGP racing in Indy.
