Tony Kanaan encourages fans to get blood pressure/stroke screening

This week IU Health's Comprehensive Stroke Center offered free blood pressure and stroke screenings to fans at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Some of the drivers stopped by as well, including Arrow McLaren team principal and 2013 Indianapolis 500 winner, Tony Kanaan. "We're trying to educate people to be preventive with their health," said Kanaan. "The fans can come here to the speedway, see the cars, check your vitals, your blood pressure and enjoy the day."
