“The Spirit of Community: Mural on Main” features an IndyCar from 1926, which is the year the town of Speedway was incorporated.

The Speedway Arts Council worked with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, PPG, town businesses, and hundreds of Speedway residents to create the mural.

The mural was painted in 2022 and is the collaborative work of Andrea Townsend and Chris Nusbaum, who was commissioned to do the piece by the Speedway Arts Council. Nusbaum, a Speedway Arts Council board member, digitally designed the artwork, While Townsend led the painting. The mural depicts the words “Speedway, Indiana, Since 1926”, set against a rainbow spectrum background.
