IndyCar WAGs Glam It Up at IMS Photo Shoot

IM went behind the scenes for a sneak peek as drivers’ better halves posed for promo pics.

This past Saturday, IndyCar drivers’ wives, fiancees, and girlfriends donned evening gowns and cocktail dresses and gathered on the Yard of Bricks at Indianapolis Motor Speedway for a promotional photo shoot. The backdrop: a brilliant sunset and streaking clouds behind the Pagoda.

Styled by Emmett’s The Studio (711 E. 54th St., 317-475-0777) in South Broad Ripple, the models included fashion maven Bronte Tagliani (wife of Alex Tagliani), former Miss Indiana Nicole Pollard (fiance of Martin Plowman), Kristin Paine (girlfriend of tough-luck Indy 500 competitor JR Hildebrand), Heather Carpenter (wife of Indianapolis native and 2014 Indy 500 pole sitter Ed Carpenter), and others.

IM got a behind-the-scenes look at the closed shoot. Check out the gallery for an exclusive sneak preview.
