📚🏁 The INDY 500 Kids Book Tour Is On! Meet the Books, Join the Fun

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Red Racer Books is hitting the road this month for our first-ever INDY 500 Kids Book Tour around Indianapolis—because it’s May, and in Indy, that means racing season is in full swing.

For those who don’t know, May in Indianapolis is more than just a month—it’s a citywide celebration. The lead-up to the Indy 500 is packed with energy, tradition, and events for all ages. We’re excited to be part of it this year by bringing our books into the mix.

We'll be popping up around town with book signings, storytimes, and special appearances by Josef and Ashley Newgarden, who authored two of the titles with us. The goal is simple: bring the love of racing and reading to families and future fans.

We’ve got four Officially Licensed INDYCAR® books in the lineup.

Don't worry, if you're not in Indianapolis, you can always find them on Amazon.

​

Here's the full calendar

📍 You can also find our books around town at some great shops

​
If you’re local, I’d love to see you at one of the stops. And if not—you can always grab the books online here.

I'll share more from the Speedway soon!

Happy Reading and Racing,
