INDIANAPOLIS -- For more than 20 years, Florence Henderson was a huge part of the Indianapolis 500. So in her death, Indianapolis Motor Speedway officials honored her in their "Lights at the Brickyard" event.

One of the fences was lit up in Henderson's memory.

Henderson, the former "Brady Bunch" mother, died on Thanksgiving. She sang at more than 20 Indy 500s, and was Grand Marshal for the 100th Running in May.
