Largest crowds at Memorial Day 500 race endure history
Indianapolis Memorial Day 500 attracts the biggest paid attendance in sports. Two-time winner Jim Bryan notes the track separates the men from the boys. Ralph DePalma led 613 laps in the early era, while Bryan leads active drivers with 206 laps. Leading laps pay $150 per lap atop about $300,000 prize. The track has claimed 50 lives since 1909, and only one driver has been killed while leading. Eddie Sachs, if he wins from pole, would join a select group who led start to finish in Memorial Day classics.
