Conor Daly is a man of his word, so if the Indy 500 driver tells us that he’s going to rock out with Zed’s Dead, Martin Garixx, DJ Mustard and the rest of the DJs performing in the middle of the Indianapolis Speedway just two hours before the biggest race of his career, we believed him.

Of course, just because we believed Conor didn’t mean that weren’t going to go with him. Partying with Conor, our girl Andrea Feczko, and thousands of Verizon IndyCar Series/EDM fans (there are more than you think) isn’t something that we’d ever turn down.

While we were backstage, Conor managed to score autographs from some of his favorite artists and we got some awesome footage and met some of our favorite DJs. Obviously Conor wasn’t getting too crazy, he had a race to win, but it’s awesome to see an athlete like this enjoying the same stuff his fans do.

Those of you who haven’t yet been to a Verizon IndyCar Series race are really missing out. Now obviously the Indy 500 isn’t just any race–it’s the biggest of year–but there’s so much awesome stuff going on that you wouldn’t believe it.
