Tripawds Nation, get your engines ready! This weekend the Indy 500 will be ground zero for pet cancer awareness when the sleek #7 race car piloted by Jay Howard blazes around the track with the One Cancer One Cure message!

You may recall earlier this year when we had the honor of seeing the One Cure NASCAR car in person (see: 

Join the #OneCancerOneCure Team for Pets and People). What a thrill not just to experience the race, but to see pet cancer awareness reaching millions of people, all at once!

Well, this weekend the One Cure message will reach even more folks, but this time it's on an Indy car! According to a Colorado State University press release,

CSU’s One Cure hits the big time at Indy 500

When 33 cars line up Sunday, May 27, for the 102^nd running of the Indianapolis 500, each of them will be displaying the names and logos of various sponsors.
