Firestone Deflated – Indy 500 Street Photography Collection
At the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, everything is built for speed—except this.
Firestone Deflated by Street Photographer George Jesse captures the quiet aftermath, the discarded remnants, the leftovers of a race where every second counts. Once gripping the track with force, this worn-out tire now sits in a state of collapse—spent, battle-tested, and stripped of its purpose.
There’s beauty in the exhaustion, in the rubber that’s done its job, in the way the Firestone lettering still clings to the side like a badge of honor. It’s the anatomy of racing—victory, defeat, survival—all wrapped up in one deflated piece of history.
Perfect for those who love motorsport grit, mechanical storytelling, and the unsung artifacts of the speedway, this image is raw, unfiltered, and undeniably Indy
