The seventh annual Firestone Freedom 100 is scheduled for Friday, May 22, 2009 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the marquee event of the 15-race Firestone Indy Lights schedule in 2009.
The Firestone Freedom 100 is fifth race on the 2009 schedule and one of seven oval events. The 40-lap race takes place on the 2.5-mile IMS oval on Miller Lite Carb Day, two days before the 93rd Indianapolis 500.
"The opportunity to compete on Carb Day at Indianapolis in front of more than 100,000 fans is an experience that is second to none for our drivers, teams and sponsors," said Roger Bailey, executive director of Firestone Indy Lights.
