1. The Indy 500 is actually held in Speedway, Indiana; a town that was built around the IMS. 2. The 500 Festival Parade is the third biggest in the nation. 3. The first race was held in 1911 and was won at a speed of 74 mph. 4. If you lined all the hotdogs and bratwursts sold on race day at the track, it would wrap around 3 times. 5. The events leading up to the race--known as the 500 Festival--started in 1957 with a parade and a square dance gala.
