Ed Carpenter, a renowned US automobile race driver, has just emerged<\/a> fifth on the Indianapolis 500. He competed in the race using his Chevrolet that he had pimped with the Bitcoin logo.<\/p>\n

Indianapolis 500, shortly known as Indy500, is a popular racing event in the United States. The race was the 105 season of the event and was dubbed \u2018Greatest Spectacle in Racing.\u2019<\/p>\n

The incorporation of Bitcoin in such a race is quite iconic, and it comes at a crucial time when the currency is struggling to regain its lost value. Coming out fifth<\/a> in the race is quite remarkable as the race has 33 other racers.<\/p>\n

Ed Carpenter has come out as a promising race driver, given that he has been a popular participant in previous events. Before the race commented, Ed Carpenter made remarks praising the cryptocurrency, and some form of excitement could be detected from his tone.<\/p>\n

Dear #Bitcoin<\/a>,<\/p>\n
