The Indy 500
There’s racing, and then there’s the Indy 500. Head to Indianapolis Motor Speedway for one of the city’s most storied traditions, where 500 miles of high-speed action, generations of racing history, and the famous bottle of milk make for a day that’s distinctly Indy.
Just 5.5 miles away from your room at The Alexander Hotel is the most thrilling racing event of the year – The Indy 500. Throughout the month of May, a host of races lead the way to the 103rd running of The Indy 500, where thirty racers will drive 500 miles in 200 laps to claim their trophy and a bottle of milk.
Drinking milk after a race has been a custom ever since legendary driver Louis Meyer did it in Victory Lane in 1936. The Indy 500 itself is mired in tradition and heart-pounding action that you and your family are sure to love.
This family-friendly event is reasonably priced, and with the option of the IMS Kids Club, it’s perfect for your young racers to enjoy the sport by playing games and interacting with fans their age. Tickets can be purchased online now, so you can reserve your spot and witness history.
