Indianapolis 500 is all that needs to be mentioned and any fan from novice to die hard will know what you are talking about. This race is the main racing event held at the track every year around Memorial Day. This track is the second oldest racing track in history. The first race ever held here was not completed and cut short due to horrible track conditions. There were only 5 laps completed that day with the winner being Louis Schwitzer. The Indianapolis 500 holds many events leading up to the race which are deep in tradition. This year we bid farewell to Lou Palmer, the legendary voice that was heard over the IMS Radio Network for over 30 years . May his legend live on and the thrill of Indy racing that his felt here every May.
