	Indy 500 history
		It was also the deadliest Indy 500 since 1937 as three drivers and a crewman were killed.
		The Indy 500 is the oldest auto race in the world, and remains an American institution.
		And no matter how much auto technology and culture has changed over that time, the Indy 500 is now and forever will be the crown jewel in the auto racing calendar.

	Indy 500 Analysis
		Brazilian Hélio Castroneves (in fifth position this year) won the Indy 500 in 2001 and in 2002.
		However, the Indy 500 has emerged as the most technology-driven of the major North American racing series (NASCAR eat your heart out).
		I imagine if she wins; Danica Patrick's success in her first Indy 500 will be bigger than Mark Donohue's win in 1972 when Penske won his first Indy 500 victory as a team owner.

	Indianapolis 500 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first "500" was held at the Speedway on Memorial Day, May 30, 1911, with Ray Harroun piloting a Marmon "Wasp" -- outfitted with his invention, the rear-view mirror -- to victory.
		With the 500 having been a part of the World Drivers' Championship between 1950 and 1960, Ferrari made a discreet appearance at the 1952 event with Alberto Ascari, but European entries were few and far between during those days.
		In fact, it wouldn't be until the Indianapolis 500 was removed from the calendar that entries with a European background made their return, with Australian Jack Brabham driving his slightly modified F1 Cooper in the 1961 race.

	Indianapolis 500 history
		In the 1990s, the Indy 500 lost some of its prestige when a rift among racing teams led to a competing race the same day in Michigan.
		The 2005 race was considered by many one of the most entertaining and competitive race in years, thanks in part to 23-year-old rookie Danica Patrick who had the most competitive showing of any woman in Indy 500 history, leading the race for several laps and finishing fourth.
		The track shut down in 1917 and 1918 because of World War I. In 1919, the Indy 500 resumed and Howdy Wilcox, who went on to win the race, was the first driver to break the 100 mph barrier.

		With a bit more fuel the 23-year-old rookie instead of the red-hot Brit could have been drinking milk, but to lead three times for 19 laps and come within six laps of winning after several setbacks in her fifth career start made finishing on fumes somewhat palatable.
		Two laps after becoming Indy's first female leader, Patrick's Honda stalled in the pits — dropping her 12 spots to 16th.
		By lap 143 she was back in the top 10, only to fall back again 12 laps later when a spinout on a restart left her with a clipped left front wing and nose.

	Indy 500 Betting - Indy Racing League, indy 500 gambling
		At this point in the short history of Indy Racing League, the open-wheel circuit has fallen so far behind NASCAR in the public eye that most people would rather see Danica Patrick in a fl cocktail dress than in Rahal Letterman Racing’s No. 16 Panoz/Honda.
		Patrick made a big splash at last year’s Indy 500 when she briefly took the lead on two separate occasions before finishing in fourth place, beating the eighth-place finish by Janet Guthrie in 1978.
		However, Patrick might not be in as good of a position to win this year’s Indy 500 as she was in her rookie season.

	Ethanol boosters see Indy 500 win - The Driver's Seat - MSNBC.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		For the first time in the race’s 95-year history, cars in the Indy 500 are burning a fuel that is 10 percent ethanol and 90 percent methanol.
		The Indy Racing League said this year that its Indy Car series would switch from pure methanol — a fuel derived from natural gas that replaced gasoline in the 1970s because it is less likely to ignite — to the new 90-10 blend of methanol and corn-derived ethanol.
		But backers of the Indy ethanol drive see its inclusion as a big symbolic gesture meant to counter perceptions that ethanol does not perform as well as other fuels.
