Customers encouraged to order 2003 USGP tickets.

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway ticket office is encouraging new and renewal customers to order tickets for the fourth running of the United States Grand Prix, scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 28, 2003.

Fans of the USGP who do not have tickets and are interested in applying should do so as soon as possible, according to Peggy Swalls, vice president of administration for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

"Although tickets remained available for the 2002 U.S. Grand Prix through race day, fans who ordered early were also those who got the best seats," Swalls said. "In addition, renewals must be submitted within the next seven days to guarantee the same seating assignments."

Tickets can be ordered in a variety of ways, including via the Internet at http://www.imstix.com. Order forms are available for existing or new customers at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway ticket office, in the 2002 SAP United States Grand Prix official program or via the World Wide Web at www.usgpindy.com.

The Speedway's ticket office is located on the first floor of the IMS administrative offices outside Turn 1, on the corner of 16th Street and Georgetown Road. The address to mail ticket orders:

2003 United States Grand Prix tickets,
Indianapolis Motor Speedway,
4790 W. 16th St.
Indianapolis, IN 46222
