Indy 500 legends in NY today

Indianapolis 500 legends Rick Mears, Johnny Rutherford and Al Unser Jr., and 2008 Chase Rookie of the Year Ryan Hunter-Reay will sign autographs at IZOD's "In Pursuit of FAST: 100 Years of Indy Racing Fashion and Design" exhibit May 19 at Macy's Herald Square in New York.

The exhibit, which opened May 13 and runs through June 3, brings to life a century of American racing through archival elements - hundreds of original photos, logos and artwork from artists such as Leroy Neiman, vintage cars and memorabilia, and the Borg-Warner Trophy - that visually tells the history of the Indy 500. Race cars from every generation will be featured in the display, starting with the infamous "Baby Interstate" of 1916 to Danica Patrick's 2005 race car, which led the Indy 500.

Mears is one of only three drivers to win the "500" four times. Rutherford is a three-time winner, and Unser Jr. is a two-time winner.
