The Indianapolis 500, or simply the \u201cIndy 500\u201d, is one of the world\u2019s biggest motor races and the ultimate highlight on the IndyCar calendar. It draws the largest on-site crowd of any sporting event on the globe with more than 300\u00a0000 fans attending race day.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Run for the first time in 1911, the Indy 500 celebrated its 100th\u00a0anniversary in 2011 and was held for the 100th\u00a0time in 2016. It is the oldest of motor racing\u2019s Triple Crown events \u2013 the other two being the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.<\/span><\/p>\n

The race takes place at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, deriving its name from the distance over which it is run: 500 miles (805 km). With a lap of the IMS measuring 2.5 miles (4 km), it makes for a 200-lap race that usually lasts approximately three hours. Typically, between 5-10 pit stops are required to complete the race.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Indy 500 is heavily steeped in tradition. It is always held over Memorial Day weekend in May, the field is capped at a distinctive 33-car limit, and the winner traditionally gets to celebrate in victory lane by drinking a bottle of milk.<\/span><\/p>\n

Due to its grandeur, the Indy 500 awards double championship points.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 2019 edition is staged on May 26 and marks the 103rd\u00a0running of the Indy 500. Felix Rosenqvist will be making his first start at the event, going up against his regular rivals plus the addition of double Formula 1 world champion Fernando Alonso.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The Greatest Spectacle in Racing\"<\/h1>\n

The Indianapolis 500, or simply the \u201cIndy 500\u201d, is one of the world\u2019s biggest motor races and the ultimate highlight on the IndyCar calendar. It draws the largest on-site crowd of any sporting event on the globe with more than 300\u00a0000 fans attending race day.<\/strong><\/p>

Run for the first time in 1911, the Indy 500 celebrated its 100th\u00a0anniversary in 2011 and was held for the 100th\u00a0time in 2016. It is the oldest of motor racing\u2019s Triple Crown events \u2013 the other two being the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.<\/p>

The race takes place at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, deriving its name from the distance over which it is run: 500 miles (805 km). With a lap of the IMS measuring 2.5 miles (4 km), it makes for a 200-lap race that usually lasts approximately three hours. Typically, between 5-10 pit stops are required to complete the race.<\/p>

The Indy 500 is heavily steeped in tradition. It is always held over Memorial Day weekend in May, the field is capped at a distinctive 33-car limit, and the winner traditionally gets to celebrate in victory lane by drinking a bottle of milk.<\/p>

Due to its grandeur, the Indy 500 awards double championship points.<\/p>

The 2019 edition is staged on May 26 and marks the 103rd\u00a0running of the Indy 500. Felix Rosenqvist will be making his first start at the event, going up against his regular rivals plus the addition of double Formula 1 world champion Fernando Alonso.<\/p>
