INDIANAPOLIS, IN — Verizon Wireless revved up its network capacity for the upcoming Indianapolis race by upgrading area cell sites that provide service to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and surrounding area.

The upgrades will enable more customers to use their wireless phones concurrently to make calls, send and receive TXT and Picture Messages, and download games and ringtones.

"During this annual car race, Hoosiers and visitors rely heavily on their wireless handsets to keep in touch with friends and family-not only with phone calls, but also through TXT, Picture and Video Messaging," said Greg Haller, president—Indiana/Kentucky/Michigan Region, Verizon Wireless. "Our network is prepared to handle the expected increased activity throughout the racing season."
