The fastest lap of the week so far at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway was 227.546 mph turned by Alex Palou on Wednesday. Other drivers reaching top speeds were 2018 winner Will Power, two-time defending winner Josef Newgarden, 2008 winner Scott Dixon, and Conor Daly. All 34 drivers vying for spots in the starting field drove a total of 6,387.5 miles Wednesday. Practice resumes Thursday, then the final practice before qualifying occurs Friday which earns the label "Fast" due to turbocharger boosts the cars receive that day. Tickets start at $25.
Kuntz Stadium hosts a championship weekend featuring 15 high-stakes matches Friday-Sunday. Club Rugby encompasses all non-collegiate adult rugby, and the top 20 teams have emerged from a field of more than 600 clubs. The winners of the 10 semifinals played Friday-Saturday will advance to Sunday's National Championships. Tickets are $10 and up.
Summer fun begins this weekend at the 53rd annual BRAF. The Indy Art Center hosts this gathering of more than 150 local, regional, and national artists displaying their work for purchase. Creative mediums include ceramics, wood, jewelry, glass, painting, printmaking, wax, and fabric. Enjoy live music and interactive activities, grab some food and drinks, see artist demonstrations, and do a Make-It-Take-It (additional cost) after you've been inspired. Tickets are $11.50 and up.
More than 3,000 vehicles from muscle cars and hot rods to exotics and customs will cross the auction block through Saturday at the Indiana State Fairgrounds and Event Center. It's not just cars, but also trucks, boats, road art, and auto memorabilia. Some of the hottest items are a '65 Ford GT/109 (the only one to compete at Le Mans), a '57 Chevy El Morocco convertible (one of ten), and a one-of-a-kind '62 Excalibur RS Roadster (pictured). New this year is the outdoor Adventure Zone with activities for kids of all ages. Tickets are $30 and up.
The legendary spirit of Bob Marley lives on with The Wailers, the band comprised of former members of his band as well as their families and talented younger players.

Opener Rich Hardesty also embraces reggae and mixes it with Americana, country, folk, and rock. Tickets are $40.
