One of the most popular events in the Indy Car series is the Indianapolis 500 or famously called the ìIndy 500î. This event is an American automobile race, which is held annually during the Memorial Day weekend. It is held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Indiana.
Ticket demand for the Indy 500 is always high. This is especially true ever since the race was labeled ìThe Greatest Spectacle in Racingî. The Indy 500 is also one of the oldest events in racing in the United States.
The Indiana Speedway was built in 1909. It was built mainly with gravel and tar. The inaugural race in Indianapolis Motor Speedway happened on May 30, 1911 with Ray Harroun driving a Marmon sponsored car winning it. The inaugural race also had an audience record of 80,200 in attendance.
The Indy 500 mile race was considered one of the few most significant motorsports events in the world. In May 30, 2010 the 94th running of this event will be held in the state of Indiana.
