INDIANAPOLIS: IN THE BEGINNING
It was a century agoJune 5, 1909that the new Indianapolis Motor Speedway held its first event, a hot-air balloon race. In honor of its founding and the inaugural Indianapolis 500-Mile International Sweepstakes two years later, the Speedway is celebrating its Centennial Era from 2009 through 2011.
THE BEAST OF INDIANAPOLIS
The monstrously powerful Novi never won a race, but captured the hearts of racing fans the world over.
GREAT RACING RIVALS: FANGIO vs. MOSS
