More about Indy 500 Carb day

The Indianapolis 500, or Indy 500, is an annual automobile race held at Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) in Speedway, Indiana, United States. The event is traditionally held over Memorial Day weekend, usually the last weekend of May.

The event is contested as part of the IndyCar Series, the American Championship Car racing, an open-wheel, open-cockpit formula known as "Indy Car Racing."

This is the 106th Indy 500 and is being presented by Gainbridge. The inaugural race was held in 1911 and was won by Ray Harroun. The event celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2011, and the 100th running was held in 2016.

It was put on hiatus twice, from 1917 to 1918 due to World War I and from 1942 to 1945 due to World War II.
