The House That Troy Built Indy 500 Rebirth Story
Indianapolis 500 marks its 57th run on May 28 drawing over 250000 spectators and global viewers. Anton Hulman III transformed the Speedway after World War II, replacing wooden stands with steel and concrete, adding a 100 room motel and a 274 hole golf course, and expanding capacity to about 335000 with infield seating. Prize money surpasses 1 million dollars for the third straight year, with VIP suites selling for up to 20000 annually and infield viewing at five dollars per person. The race continues to attract fans who mingle with drivers and crews in Gasoline Alley, while the speed and personalities keep drawing attention to the world’s premier oval race.
