ESPN recently announced that it will air four episodes of "SportsCenter," the network's flagship program, from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

It will be the show's first live appearance from the Indy 500 in more than a decade.

"I can't think of a better place to be than the Indianapolis Motor Speedway as we approach Race Day for the 100th Running of the Indy 500," said J. Douglas Boles, IMS President. "Our fans are going to love hosting the SportsCenter team on site and today's good news will truly make the Month of May even more exciting and unforgettable for everyone."
