Memorial Day 500 Attendee Record At Indy Track
The Memorial Day 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway remains the sport’s top paid attendance event. Jim Bryan notes the track weeds out the men from the boys as he leads active drivers in laps, while DePalma’s early pace and Ward’s recent averages highlight the race’s legacy. Each leading lap adds 150 dollars, with total prize money near 300000 dollars, and the risk of fatalities has shadowed the event since 1909. This summary covers the race’s history, speeds, and evolving technology from brick surface beginnings to modern paved speedways.
