Baker All rights reserved. ii ABSTRACT IndyCar events attract thousands of spectators and over one million television viewers. Additionally, IndyCar is the most elite form of motorsport that races on oval speedways, natural terrain road courses, and temporary street circuits. This research utilizes case studies of IndyCar events contested on each of these three venue types (Iowa Corn Indy 250 – oval speedway; Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio – road course; Grand Prix of St. Petersburg – street circuit). Previous research in figurational sociology, place marketing, and mega-events provide a framework used to identify key similarities and differences among the perceived and observed benefits and costs of an IndyCar race on their host cities and regions. Identification and analysis of key local event stakeholders and sponsors from a content analysis of event souvenir programs, television broadcasts, and local newspaper coverage revealed key differences among the three case study events. Street circuit races rely on a high-level of public support, have a high impact on businesses and residents surrounding the venue, and can showcase a city’s downtown amenities via television exposure of city streets during most of the event. In the case of St. Petersburg, the festival atmosphere and high speed of IndyCar racing in their downtown streets has been part of a process of re-inventing the city as it sheds an image of a quiet city with mostly older residents and has been successful attracting both visitors and residents to downtown. Oval speedway events rely on high participation of private, local event sponsors that are marketing their good or service mostly to local race fans who, for the most part, stay only at the speedway on race day. In particular, the Iowa Corn Indy 250 provides a platform for local, corn-based ethanol promotion of their product in high-performance race cars. Road course races attract a greater number of weekend-long, on-site camping motorsport enthusiasts and participants as these events are more a celebration of the automobile industry, and in particular, the Honda assembly plants that employ thousands of nearby Ohio residents. The results from this research provide key lessons for other current and potential IndyCar venues across three different venue types. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter Page CHAPTER1 Introduction.............................................................................................. 1 1.1 Research Questions and Design .......................................................................... 1 1.2 Relevance of Study ............................................................................................. 6 1.3 IndyCar Racing Venues: Street Circuits, Road Courses, and Oval Speedways . 7 1.4 Rationale for Case Study Site Selection ........................................................... 11 1.5 Geography of Motorsport ................................................................................. 16 1.6 My Connection to the Research Topic.............................................................. 20 CHAPTER 2 Figurational Sociology and IndyCar Series Events .............................. 22 2.1 Introduction ....................................................................................................... 22 2.2 Figurational Sociology ...................................................................................... 24 2.3 Origin and Diffusion of Modern Sport: Figurational Perspectives .................. 26 2.3.1 Sports Media Complex .............................................................................. 27 2.4 Figurations of IndyCar Series Race Events ...................................................... 29 2.5 Sanctioning Body .............................................................................................. 30 2.5.1 INDYCAR Today ...................................................................................... 35 2.6 Automobile Industry and IndyCar .................................................................... 38 2.6.1 American Honda Motor Company............................................................. 41 2.6.2 Ethanol ....................................................................................................... 42 2.7 Media and IndyCar ........................................................................................... 43 2.7.1 ABC/ESPN ................................................................................................ 49 2.7.2 Versus/NBC Sports Network ..................................................................... 49 2.8 Corporate Sponsorship and IndyCar ................................................................. 50 2.8.1 Corporate Sponsorship and IndyCar Today ............................................... 54 2.9 Chapter Summary ............................................................................................. 56 CHAPTER 3 Place Marketing, Mega-Events, and Motorsport .................................. 58 3.1 Introduction ....................................................................................................... 58 3.2 Place Marketing ................................................................................................ 59 3.2.1 Who are Place Marketers?

The 500-mile open-wheel car race takes place in May each year. The wartime spans when the race was not held were from 1917–1918 and 1942–1945. From 1913 on, the race has had significant international involvement. The race motivated many teams and manufacturers to relocate to Indianapolis. From 1911 to 1964, thirteen drivers died from racing at the event. At this time, cars reached 150 mph at different points on the track. De Soto was an American car manufacturer, operating from 1928 until 1961 as a part of the Chrysler Corporation.

    v 7. EFFECTS ON LABORATORY MAMMALS AND IN VITRO TEST SYSTEMS 7.1 Single exposure 7. I.I Lethality In a study to determine the acute toxicity of four zinc compounds (acetate, nitrate, chloride and sulfate) administered by the oral or intraperitoneal route to male Swiss mice and male Sprague Dawley rats (Table 20), the majority of deaths occurred during the first 48 h. The clinical and physical signs of toxicity included miosis, conjunctivitis, decreased food and water consump- tion, haemorrhage and haematosis in the tail. These effects were reported to diminish with time, indicating rapid elimination of zinc from the body. The acute toxicity of zinc varied with the zinc salt . used, and ranged from 237 to, 623 mg/kg in rats and from 86 to 605 mgkg in mice after oral administration; the acute toxicity following an intraperitoneal dose ranged from 28 to 73 mg/kg in rats and from 32 to 115 mg/kg in mice (Doming0 et al., 1988). LCso values following inhalation exposure to zinc chloride were 11 800 mg/min per m3 in mice (Schenker et al., 1981) and 2000 mg/m3 in rats (Karlsson et al., 1991). 7.1.2 Acute studies: summary of key findings Zinc chloride can produce significant lung damage in rats when instilled directly into the lung; zinc oxide, by contrast, does not produce lung damage even when administered at relatively high concentrations. This is possibly due to the respective solubilities of the two compounds: zinc chloride is readily soluble in water whereas zinc oxide is not. Zinc chloride induces intra-alveolar oedema which closely resembles the effects of inhaled zinc oxide/hexachloroethane smoke in experimental animals.
