HUDSON, INDIANA (RFD News) — One of motorsports’ most recognizable traditions returns this weekend as dairy farmers prepare for the annual Indianapolis 500 milk presentation.
The tradition dates back to 1936 and gives dairy farmers the opportunity to present milk to the winning driver following the race.
Dairy farmer Ashley Stockwell joined us on Wednesday’s Market Day Report to discuss the experience and what the moment means both personally and professionally.
“It’s been a whirlwind of experience, a lot of emotions, high and low. Just humbled and blessed that I get to do this.”
During her conversation with RFD News, Stockwell discussed her third-generation dairy operation while also sharing what it means to take part in a tradition tied closely to her home state of Indiana.
“It’s a lot of behind-the-scenes training, we’ve got to get ready for all the things coming up. Other than that though, it’s just being able to tell our story,” She continued, “We’re a family just like you and everybody. We have a family farm that happens to produce dairy so we can feed the world.”
She also spoke about the preparation that goes into serving as a milk presenter and why the event represents more than just motorsports for dairy producers across the country.
