“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.
