On behalf of the Red Gold Company and its employees, we are proud to be part of the sponsorship of the Indianapolis 500 Race.  On May 17, 2009, Red Gold presented to Tomas Scheckter the $10,000 Red Gold Red Zone Bump Day Award for the fastest single qualifying lap of 221.845 mph. 

Red Gold, a leading producer of premium quality tomato products since 1942, will once again offer an incentive for drivers attempting to find extra speed on Bump Day, the dramatic final day of qualifications for the 93rd Indianapolis 500. 

The driver who posts the quickest lap time during a qualification attempt that secures a starting spot on Bump Day, Sunday, May 17th, will earn the $10,000 Red Gold Red Zone Award.  The quick lap cannot come on a successful attempt that later is bumped from the starting field. 

The 2008 winner of the Red Gold Red Zone Award was A.J. Foyt IV with the fastest single lap of 219.412 mph on Bump Day.

Red Gold Brand Ketchup, an Indianapolis favorite, is served throughout IMS for fans and race teams to enjoy.  Red Gold Brand Ketchup is available on more than 60 condiment carts located throughout the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
