1. downtown Indianapolis

2. Indianapolis Motor Speedway
   Road America

Located in Speedway, Indiana, this track hosts quite a few racing events, but all of them pale in comparison to this one.

1. Gatorade
   champagne
2. milk
   wine

It was Louis Meyer with his habit of drinking buttermilk to refresh himself after a race who touched off this tradition in 1936.

1. clowns
   pigeons
2. hounds
   balloons

The lore is that in 1947, Tony Hulman's mother suggested the practice, which now happens during the final notes of "Back Home Again in Indiana."

1. 1911
   1917
2. 1922
   1918

For that first meeting, Ray Harroun won behind the wheel of the Marmon "Wasp."

1. 50
   300
2. 450
   500

Back when the Indy 500 was conceived, organizers wanted an event that would last from the middle of the morning into the late afternoon, so they selected a distance of 500 miles.

1. 1 mile
   2.5 miles
2. 5 miles
   3 miles

The track has always been this distance and has even retained the same layout since 1909.

1. four
   12
2. 13
   19

There are what are called "short chute" straightaways between Turns 1 and 2, and Turns 3 and 4, plus longer straightaways on the front and back of the track.

1. three
   five
2. seven
   10

While countless rookies have participated, ten have won, the most recent being Alexander Rossi in 2016.

1. Al Unser
   Bo Jackson
2. Troy Ruttman
   Louis Pettel

Ruttman was just 22 years old when he took the checkered flag in 1952, and he remains the youngest victor.

1. 28
   30
2. 33
   45

The Contest Board of the American Automobile Association was the one that figured 33 was the maximum number of cars that could race on the track safely at once, and that's been largely followed.

1. two years in a row
   three years in a row
2. four years in a row
   five years in a row

Five drivers have set this record, the earliest being Wilbur Shaw in 1939 and 1940, and the latest being Helio Castroneves in 2001 and 2002.

1. the team mechanic and owner
   the second-place driver
2. the second- and third-place drivers
   nobody else

There are two milk people, and the rookie or new person always hands the milk over to these two, while the more experienced one gives it to the driver.

1. one
   three
2. two
   0

Takuma Sato was able to outdo Helio Castroneves in 2017 to become the first from his country to get the big win.

1. A.J. Foyt
   Al Unser
2. Rick Mears
   It's a tie among the three

All three drivers have won the Indianapolis 500 four times, making the record a three-way tie, at least for now.

1. Danica Patrick
   Janet Guthrie
2. Lyn St. James
   Katherine Legge

Janet Guthrie first competed in 1977, which was a big deal then. She also raced in 1978 and 1979.

1. 8 degrees, 3 minutes
   9 degrees, 12 minutes
2. 12 degrees, 9 minutes
   18 degrees, 8 minutes

Just like the layout of the track, even the banking in the turns has been preserved to the exact specs of the original track.

1. chug it all
   break the bottle on their car
2. pour it on their head
   pour it on the ground

Instead of trying to chug milk, which is a really bad idea, the winner mostly just dumps it on their head while celebrating, with some of it ending up in their mouth.

1. paddock girls
   moose
2. milk bottles
   bricks

There's a 3-foot wide strip of bricks from the original Speedway surface that they kiss, a tradition Dale Jarrett started back in 1996 at the Brickyard 400.

1. The Race to the Clouds
   The Long Haul
2. The Greatest Spectacle in Racing
   Ripping it in Indiana

As one of the three biggest automotive races in the entire world, this name isn't inaccurate by a long shot.

1. I Can't Drive 55
   Back Home Again in Indiana
2. Little Red Corvette
   Black Thunder

The song was originally called just "Indiana" when it was first published in 1917, and has been part of the race morning festivities since 1946.

1. The Pulitzer
   Piston Cup
2. Borg-Warner Trophy
   The Bent Rod Cup

This trophy has been around since 1936 and has become one of the most famous trophies in sports around the entire world.

1. Danica Patrick
   Janet Guthrie
2. Ana Beatriz
   Pippa Mann

In 2005 and 2011 Patrick actually led the race for a time, and in 2009 she had a podium finish in third place.

1. no skim
   no whole
2. nothing pasteurized
   no flavors

Drivers are polled each year before the race on what kind of milk they prefer, and quite a few are partial to whole milk.

1. Carlos Munoz
   Alexander Rossi
2. Tony Kanaan
   Josef Newgarden

Rossi was a rookie in 2016 when his fuel-saving strategy put him ahead of the other drivers who were in the lead, allowing him to coast across the finish line to victory.

1. Earth First
   PETA
2. Green Peace
   Flat Earth Society

PETA publicly asked Indy 500 organizers to forgo the tradition, but that request was obviously ignored by all.

1. Michael Jordan
   Al Unser
2. A.J. Foyt
   Rick Mears

Unser was 47 years old when he grabbed first place at the finish in 1987, a record that still stands today.

1. 204 minutes and 46.7 seconds
   224 minutes and 56.5 seconds
2. 237 minutes and 49.8 seconds
   352 minutes and 34.6 seconds

In 1996, Arie Lyendyk set this lap time record during qualifying.

1. camp out
   hold concerts
2. crowd surf
   do burnouts

It's become a sanctioned tradition to camp in the track's infield, which has plenty of space to accommodate a fair number of fans.

1. made a new trophy
   wrote more names sideways
2. added a base
   scratched off the old winners and started over

The cup filled up in 1986, which was when the base was added, but that also filled up in 2004, so an even larger base was filled, which should last until 2034.

1. a circular plastic gallon jug
   a square quart glass bottle
2. a fiberglass growler
   a square paper pint

The milk is sourced locally and the bottles are engraved, so they're definitely something special.

1. Peter DePaolo
   Tony Kanaan
2. Al Unser
   Jim Clark

In 1965, Jim Clark hit 150.686 mph, breaking past a very important speed barrier for the Indy 500.

1. police escort
   a secret vehicle
2. three unmarked cars with the milk in one randomly
   armored truck

Milk is a huge deal for the race, so organizers don't take any chances, and starting in 2017, they transported it via an armored truck.

1. 33 acres
   42 acres
2. 53 acres
   253 acres

The infield is quite spacious, something fans completely take advantage of. However, the parking lots cover 315 acres, trumping that.

1. Al Unser
   Emerson Fittipaldi
2. Wilbur Shaw
   Bill Vukovich

Fittipaldi and his team, Patrick Racing, grabbed a winner's share of $1,001,604 in 1989.

1. two
   four
2. nine
   15

The most recent competitor was Pippa Mann, who has been in the race in 2011, and 2013 through 2016.
