Morgen Morris said she had a line of customers during Saturday's Indy 500 qualifications day when a track employee told her she had to shut down. Morgen was at the speedway as part of Lemonade Day activities that teach children about running a business.
Speedway spokesman Doug Boles told WTHR-TV that shutting down her stand was a mistake that he blames on miscommunication.
Morgen told WIBC-FM that the speedway has given $500 to her American Heart Association charity and that two other donors have given her $750 more. She said she's learned to be prepared for anything when it comes to business.
