INDIANAPOLIS – The Indianapolis Motor Speedway has announced that the 2016 Indianapolis 500 weekend will kick off with the legendary rock band Journey on Carb Day.

Journey has entertained fans across the globe for more than four decades with a catalog full of hit albums and chart-topping singles that remain on the radio today. For their upcoming tour, Neal Schon (founding member and lead guitarist), original member Ross Valory (bass), and longtime members Jonathan Cain (keyboardist) and Arnel Pineda (lead singer), are welcoming drummer Steve Smith back into Journey, marking the first time he will perform with the band since 1998.
