Indianapolis, Indiana

Flat Stanley got to go on another trip with the Henke family.  They went to Purdue for a college visit for Meg's older brother, Jeff.  While there, they stopped at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana.  

Here is Stanley with the gold brick at the finish line! 



Stanley was so grateful that Colin sat with him in a race car!  


Here, Mr. Henke & Colin took Stanley to the Media Center.  Maybe they were having a press conference to introduce the newest race car driver?  


Here, is Stanley with Dan Wheldon's car that won the Indy 500 in 2011.  It was the 100th anniversary of the race that year.  Unfortunately, while driving in another race in Las Vegas, in October, Mr. Wheldon was involved in a 15 car accident, ultimately resulting in his death.  



Stanley got to enjoy homemade root beer at the Triple XXX root beer parlor near Purdue's campus!  


Thanks to the Henkes for taking Stanley on another road trip!  He had a great time!
