Friends of the late Bob Jenkins are looking to honor him. Friends of the longtime Indy 500 radio announcer are hoping to raise funds to create a mural to honor the late broadcaster in his hometown of Liberty, IN. According to the IndyStar, Union County Development Corporation director Melissa Browning says, “His cherished community would like to create this heartfelt tribute to a humble man that truly believed ‘he was a race fan that just got lucky”. Browning and others started a GoFundMe page to help raise the funds for the project. So far they have raised seven thousand of the hopeful thirty two thousand. Pamela Bliss, the creator of the Reggie Miller Mural in downtown Indianapolis, has been assigned the duty to design the mural. Jenkins passed away last August after a battle with Brain Cancer at 73 years old. He was inducted into the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame in 2019. He spent forty years as the voice of the 500.
