The rolling ridges of sand dunes in the north and the forested hills in the south bookend the flat, agricultural center of the state of Indiana. At the center of the Midwest on both a map and in the mind, Indiana’s interconnectedness to the rest of the region has distinguished it as the Crossroads of America. It’s also a state whose culture is deeply rooted in sports, a hotbed for both basketball and auto racing.
