In advance of Saturday’s Cafes do Brasil Indy 300 – the IndyCar Series championship – at Homestead-Miami Speedway, several IndyCar drivers will be meeting fans and signing autographs Thursday in the IZOD shop in the men’s department at Macy’s in Dadeland Mall.
Among the drivers scheduled to attend are Danica Patrick, Helio Castroneves, Dario Franchitti, Will Power, Tony Kanaan, Milko Duno and EJ Viso.

IZOD, which is the title sponsor of the IndyCar Series, will also be giving away items – while supplies last -- such as tickets to the Indy 300 for the first 50 customers who spend $40 or more on IZOD apparel at the event, and a ride in a street-legal Indy two-seater to the first 50 to spend $20 ore more on an IZOD purchase.
