Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels is used to moving in a fast-paced environment. That’s why his choice of Halloween costume, an IndyCar Series driver, makes perfect sense.
The governor will don a specially created “i am INDY”-branded Hinchman Racing firesuit and helmet painted by Hot Marks when he and his wife, Cheri, welcome trick-or-treaters to the governor’s residence on Oct. 31.
The First Lady and the rest of Daniels’ staff will dress as members of Daniels’ pit crew. An IndyCar Series show car will also be on display.
“Motorsports is a big part of our state’s heritage, ” said Daniels, who is a frequent visitor to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway during the Month of May. “What kid, growing up in Indiana, didn’t want to be a race car driver when he grew up? I know I did. ”
