INDIANAPOLIS Puzzled by this uber-deep Indy 500 field in making your pick for who will win? Maybe you’re betting hard-earned cash or just looking to be the smartest person in your group when the checkered flag falls.
We so often hear the mantra “the track picks the winner” because of how much luck is involved in taking the checkered flag. The best car hasn t won this race numerous times.

Exactly 70 years ago this Sunday the day on which the largest U.S. sporting-event crowd since the onset of the pandemic will assemble for the Indianapolis 500 a 14-year-old kid from suburban Cleveland headed west with his father to watch what was then called the 35th International 500-Mile Sweepstakes. Roger Penske and his dad were late arriving at the central Indiana home of the elder Penske’s business associate, for a prerace lunch, and everyone had already left for the track but before the Penskes headed out they took notice of a show car in the backyard. Roger pulled on a helmet, sat behind the wheel and posed for a photo.
