Governor Eric J. Holcomb offered the following statement on announcement of the Hulman & Company's intended sale to the Penske Corporation.

"Mr. Penske's vision, team and high expectations will ensure Indiana's most iconic asset continues to grow. Along with IndyCar, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway forms the core of an entire racing industry that employs thousands of people and pumps hundreds of millions of dollars into our economy.
