Indianapolis 500 Mile Race Schedule

Indy 500: The 100th Anniversary of the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race Schedule: From all the pre-race pageantry including the singing of “Back Home Again in Indiana”. The playing of “Taps” the balloon release and all the remarkable sights and sounds of the “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing”, there is nothing anywhere in the world quite like the Indianapolis 500.
