INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) If you’ve ever listened to the Indy 500 on the radio, you’ll likely recognize his voice.
He is the voice of the Indy 500, and his name is Mark Jaynes.
He’s one of only six people who has served as the voice of the Indy 500.
“I thank our original anchor, I affectionately refer to him as ‘the Godfather,’ the late Sid Collins, for having the vision and the foresight to put the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Radio Network together,” Jaynes said. “I think the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Radio Network is as responsible as any entity for the growth and the popularity of the Indianapolis 500.”
