While NASCAR enjoys so much success, -- and HD coverage for almost four years -- the so called <em>greatest spectacle in racing</em> finally gets the HD treatment. The main race as well as shows on qualifing days will use 53 cameras, -- hopefully all HD -- and required a significant financial investment to make it happen.<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070508/SPORTS0101/70508039>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/05/11/the-indy-500-will-finally-be-presented-in-hd/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/forward/894405/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&fc=1&url=http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/05/11/the-indy-500-will-finally-be-presented-in-hd/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking Blogs</a> | <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/05/11/the-indy-500-will-finally-be-presented-in-hd/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_65-894405"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/65-894405?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_65-894405" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&client=ca-aol_weblogs_xml&channel=Engadget_Mobile_07_RSS&output=png&cuid=65-894405&url=http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/05/11/the-indy-500-will-finally-be-presented-in-hd/" /></p>
