Fan Photo Gives Extra Splash To Indianapolis 500 Ticket

Redmer's photo made the back cover of Speed Sport soon after.

"That was probably the highlight of my photography career until now," he said.

Redmer's handiwork with his Canon camera provided the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and fans of the "500" with one of the most dramatic and telling images of the soggy 2007 edition of "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing." For his work, the Speedway rewarded Redmer with a 2008 month-long credential and honorary starter status Friday, May 16, when he waved the green flag to start practice.
