This week Hot Wheels® unveiled its take on the Indy 500 Championship Trophy! The custom trophy was unveiled by Ryan Hunter-Reay at The Children's Museum with the Hot Wheels: Race to Win exhibit as the perfect backdrop. The trophy celebrates the past 99 epic Indy races with 99 Hot Wheels die-cast cars. But rather than using IndyCars, the trophy features a variety of Hot Wheels cars that each draw inspiration from the stories, colors, and numbers of the winning Indianapolis 500 drivers. See our full photo album for more photos of the trophy.
The Hot Wheels Indianapolis 500 trophy will be on view at The Children's Museum from Wednesday, May 18 through Monday, May 23. It will then be at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway until after race day. It will return to The Children's Museum on June 1 to remain on view until July 31.
Here are a few of the stories behind the cars featured on the trophy!
