History of the indy 500

CARB DAY

LEGENDS DAY

LEGENDS DAY

  Next to the Indy 500 Carb Day is the biggest event in the month of May. Carb Day, short for “Carburetion Day” is the final practice session before race day. Carb Day is currently held on the Friday before the race. In 1969- 1972, it was held the Wednesday before the race. The name originally came from the fact that is was the final session where teams could tune their carburetors in conditions similar to those that might be encountered on race day. The name has remained even though no qualified car has used a carburetor since 1963. Carb Day gives teams and drivers the opportunity to “shake down” the car and make sure it is mechanically sound before the race. 


The Pit Stop Challenge was added in 1977. The race team crews go through a full pit stop and adjust get familiarized with their spot on pit road. As many as twelve top teams in the field compete in a single- elimination, tournament-style competition, two teams at a time. Under the current rules format, during each heat, two cars line upside by side in a specially constructed pit lane, which resembles a drag racing layout. The cars go from a standing start and race into the pit box. Pit crews must change four tires and hook up a dummy fuel hose to simulate a refuel. 


Music icons Bret Michaels and The All-American Rejects will rock fans at the Miller Lite Carb Day Concert on Friday, May 23 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

LEGENDS DAY

LEGENDS DAY

 Legends Day honors the immortal names and machines of more than a century of the Indianapolis 500. This special day in the month of May features autograph sessions with current and past drivers and historic car laps. 


A ceremonial drivers meeting is held at the track, which is open to the public, and is popularly attended. This tradition dates back many decades. During the meeting, the 33 starting drivers are presented with their starter’s ring and various awards and trophies are handed out (such as trophies from the previous year’s race, qualifying awards, lifetime achievement awards, etc.) The drivers are usually seated on a platform situated in the eleven rows of three, and numerous other celebrities and special guests may be honored or give remarks. Rules clarifications, instructions for the race, and other pertinent information is also discussed in the open forum.unique needs.

PARADE INFO

RACE DAY

LEGENDS DAY

RACE DAY

 Known as the “Greatest Spectacle in Racing”, the Indy 500 is considered the Triple Crown of Motorsport which also includes the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Monaco Grand Prix. The track itself is nicknamed the “Brickyard”, as the racing surface was paved in brick in the fall of 1909. One yard of brick remains exposed at the start/finish line. The inaugural race was held in 1911 and was won by Ray Harroun. 


The most successful drivers are A.J. Foyt,
Al Unser Sr., Rick Mears and Hélio Castroneves, each of whom has won the race four times. The most successful car owner is Roger Penske, owner of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Team Penske, which has 18 total wins and 18 poles. 


The event is steeped in tradition, pre-race ceremonies, post-race celebrations, and race procedure. The most noteworthy and popular traditions are the 33-car field lining up three-wide for the start, the annual singing of “Back Home Again in Indiana,” and the victory lane bottle of milk. Also unique is that qualifying requires the driver to complete four, rather than one, timed laps. Qualifying has a separate weekend.
