Cleanup Begins At Indy Track After Rainy Indy 500
The 57th Indianapolis 500 ended amid record cleanup as mud and memories linger at the speedway. Winners included Gordon Johncock and Frank Lincoln with $236,002.82, followed by top finishers like Bill Vukovich and Roger McCluskey. The race faced two washouts and four tragedy marks with drivers and crew hurt, and 10 spectators hospitalized.
