Answer 2

Often shortened to Indianapolis 500 or Indy 500, is an American automobile race, held annually over the Memorial Day weekend at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana. "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing" is one of the oldest he largest radio and television audiences of any single-day sporting events worldwide. While the official attendance is not disclosed by Speedway management, news media estimate attendance in excess of 270,000 [1]. The event lends its name to the "IndyCar" class of formula, or open-wheel, race cars that have competed in it. It has been broadcast live over radio on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Radio Network since 1952, televised live in 1949 and 1950 on then-independent, local station WFBM-TV (now WRTV), and not again until ABC Sports was permitted to broadcast the race via tape delay from 1965 to 1985, and then with live flag-to-flag coverage beginning in 1986. In May 2006, the race celebrated its 90th running and 61st consecutive year of uninterrupted occurrence.

The 500 was first called "International 500-Mile Sweepstakes Race" in 1911. This name continued until 1919 when the name "Liberty Sweepstakes" was used following World War I in 1919 only. The race went back to "International Sweepstakes Race" in 1920. From then until 1980, the race was called either the "International Sweepstakes Race, Distance 500 Miles" or the "International 500-Mile Sweepstakes Race." During the latter parts of this time period, the race was unofficially known, but recognized as "The 500," "Indianapolis 500," or "Indy 500." The Borg-Warner Trophy, introduced in 1936, proclaims the event as "Indianapolis 500-Mile Race." Beginning in 1981, the race was officially called the "Indianapolis 500-Mile Race" (Indianapolis 500 for short), with all references as the "International Sweepstakes" dropped.
