SPEEDWAY — Ahead of the 21st running of the Brickyard 400, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway installed a new scoring pylon. The new pylon can not only display where the cars stand in the field, but it can show videos and animations – very similar to a video board that wraps around the upper decks of basketball arenas.
Made by Panasonic, the new scoring pylon stands 92 feet, 2 inches tall – just a couple feet taller than the the second-generation one of 20 years that it replaces.
In total, the new pylon has 1,320 panels on each sides and is a splendid upgrade at the World’s Greatest Racecourse.
Watch the old one taken down and the new one installed ahead of this weekend’s Brickyard 400.
