Mike Pence said "This weekend is the 108th Running of the Indianapolis 500. Beginning in 1911, the first Indy 500 was unlike anything the world had ever seen, with 40 qualifiers fighting a 500-mile race for an overall total purse of $27,000. Eighty thousand spectators came out to watch Ray Harroun drive into victory, and a tradition was born. The Greatest Spectacle in Racing has evolved over the last century, but its time-honored traditions keep racing fans coming back every Memorial Day weekend, like I will this weekend. This weekend promises to be no different, hosting hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world. I wish all this year's drivers the best of luck, and I am glad to say: This is May.
