INDIANAPOLIS Strange doesn t begin to describe how it feels for Bob Jenkins the man with the unfaltering voice and genius to call what s happening at 200 mph on the track to be at a loss for words.
But brain cancer is brutal and Jenkins has been fighting it for three months. When the longtime legendary radio and TV announcer of the Indianapolis 500 revealed he was battling the disease in February, he quickly let fans know he would be scaling back his duties at this year s race.
Scaling back happened on a much larger scale than he could have predicted. A mainstay at the track, Jenkins has been to Indianapolis Motor Speedway only twice this month. Once for a short visit with IMS president Doug Boles and the other to say a personal thank you to all the drivers who have showered him with prayers and well wishes.

The famed Isky hot rod built by a young California hot rodding pioneer Ed Iskenderian on display at a museum in Lincoln, Nebraska | Museum photos
An iconic segment of the California hot rod culture is on display in a museum, but it’s a museum halfway across the country. The
Speedway Motors Museum of American Speed is located in Lincoln, Nebraska, but is showcasing the famed little black Model T hot rod built by a youngster named Ed Iskenderian, who soon would become famous for creating high-performance camshafts. “Isky” anticipates celebrating his 100th birthday on July 10.
If the Nebraska location for the famous hot rod seems strange, consider that the car is displayed with Ed Winfield’s cam grinder that Isky used as well as with the only other pair of Maxi cylinder heads known to exist. The car is owned by Isky and is in Nebraska on a long-term loan.
