Indy 500 Marks 100 Years with Izod Clothing Line

Phillips-Van Heusen has launched an Izod/Indy vintage clothing line to celebrate the 100^th anniversary of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The collection will first hit Macy's stores, followed by other nationwide retailers next month.

The apparel line features short-sleeved polo shirts and T-shirts, as well as solid cotton piques with official logos and centennial insignias.

As part of the Macy's launch, a national sweepstakes will be hosted at Macys.com, beginning April 4, where participants can win an all-inclusive package for four to the 2009 Indianapolis 500.

The 100^th anniversary, a three-year celebration, is coined as the "Centennial Era"—honoring the Speedway in 2009 and the Indianapolis 500 in 2011. Last summer, the Izod brand was named the official apparel of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, IndyCar Series and Firestone Indy Lights.
