This Sunday will host the one hundredth running of the Indianapolis 500 mile race. The race began in 1911 and is raced on the famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway. IMS is a four turn oval that is 2.5 miles (4.02336 km) in length. Back in 1911 the drivers who qualified for the race sustained 75 mph on the front straight, this year the pole sitter hit over 240 mph on his speedometer qualifying. The event is completely sold out and will have over 350,000 people in attendance on race day.
The race will be on ABC at: 12:00 PM Eastern 11:00 AM Central 10:00 AM Mountain 9:00 AM Pacific
Just watch it. Below are some links about IndyCar and the race
Bonus video! Indy Lights, the feeder series for IndyCar, had their race at IMS in the Freedom 100 and they broke their own record for the closest finish of all time at the track:
