The Indianapolis 500 is one of America's greatest sporting events. It is also the world's largest attended single day sporting event. The speedway's infield area is big enough to house all 14 Big Ten Conference football stadiums. The Indianapolis 500 has been contested since 1911. It has connections to some of the US's great sports events including the National Football League, the Kentucky Derby, Major League Baseball, and the National Basketball Association. It also has a connection to some of the world's greatest events including World War I, World War II, the Great San Francisco Earthquake, the Medal of Honor, the Medal of Merit, Wonder Bread, chewing gum, and Hollywood films. If you've got questions about this great race, then we have answers. How did a janitor help a driver win the race? How did chewing gum seal the deal at Indianapolis? What does Wonder Bread have to do with the great race? Which driver won the US Medal of Honor as America's Ace of Aces? Who was the record breaking NFL football player who also set a record at the Indy 500? Who was the driver who survived a burning car but not a sinking ship? Do you know the woman who won the race as a car owner? What happened to the star crossed lovers? All this and so much more.
