I have never been to a Super Bowl. I've never been to a World Series, an NBA Finals game or a Soccer game for that matter. I hear the World's largest outdoor cocktail party game between Georgia and Florida is great. But I can only speak of the experiences I have had personally, and for my money, it doesn't get any better then the Indianapolis 500. There are several reasons why, and some you ...

Someone Not Named Danica Wins Indy 500 [Indianapolis 500] —
Deadspin
Scott Dixon , seen here winning an unrelated reace, is your 2008 Indianapolis 500 winner. This makes it 39 years that the prestigious Brickyard race hasn't been won by either a woman or an Andretti. The New Zealander won his first 500 the year after he lost the IRL championship on the last lap of the last race. Redemption! I guess.
For the Danica Patrick fans out there, she got knocked ...

Kiwi Scott Dixon is the first New Zealander to win the Indy 500 in his sixth attempt for Chip Gannasi Racing.
Only two other New Zealanders have ever raced the Indy 500 - Denny Hulme (1967, 1968, 1969, and 1971) and Graham McRae (1973).
Brazilian Vitor Meira was second with American Marco Andretti third.
“I can’t believe it,” an ecstatic Dixon said. “We seemed to ...

Polesitter Scott Dixon was just too much in the final stages for Vitor Meira and Marco Andretti and has won the 92nd Indianapolis 500. He won by two seconds over Meira and has become the first New Zealander to win the world’s greatest race.
Indianapolis 500: Way, way more boring than watching golf —
Kiel Christianson
Once again, I’m in Indianapolis for the Indianapolis 500 weekend . And thank God, it was years ago that I decided to stop attending the race itself.
The following observation and/or opinion is bound to incite vehement protests from race fans, but I find auto racing to be just about the most boring sport on the planet.
This may sound odd coming from someone who will watch golf on ...

SPORTSbyBROOKS
The Indianapolis 500 runs today for the 92nd time, and should be underway shortly. And while most eyes will be on Danica Patrick to see if this will be her year, many are expecting Dancing With The Stars alumus Helio Castroneves to win his third 500.
We have a quick preview of the field after the jump. (more…)

Is there a finer day in racing than today? I say no, and I defy you to defy me. You've got the Indianapolis 500 kicking off first, where we'll once and for all see if the rest of the field will just go ahead and do what they're supposed to and let Danica Patrick win. (It'd make a lot of sportswriters have to actually look for stories at next year's Indy, that's for sure.) Next, we've got ...

The 92nd running of the Indy 500 is this Sunday on ABC, and for the first time in quite a while there's some excitement before the race. This is due to the unification of American open wheel, Helio Castroneves's success on Dancing with the Stars, and Danica Patrick's first win earlier this year. Still, the reality of the situation is for most everyone, the Indy 500 will be the only ...

I love the Colts probably as much as any guy in the state of Minnesota. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean that I am a fan of Indianapolis. I can't imagine why anyone really would be. Imagine my surprise, then, when the NFL decided that the city of Indianapolis would be hosting the 2012 Super Bowl. Wow.
Sure, the city hosts two huge sporting events a year, in the Indy 500 and the Brickyard

I can finally watch the Indy 500 on television.
That isn’t always something you get to do in Indiana.
Since the CART/Indy Racing League split in the mid 90’s, the
Indianapolis 500 has taken a backseat to the NASCAR circuit. While NASCAR ...

I remember the days of yore, when I was but a mere lad who couldn’t wait for the month of May. I would bask in the history of the great Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

I remember the disappointment I felt when ...
