  • The Indy Racing League and the Indianapolis 500
    The Indy Racing League and the Indianapolis 500: Increasing Competition in Open-Wheeled Automobile Racing in the United States Robert W. White Department of Sociology and Andrew J. Baker Department of Geography School of Liberal Arts IUPUI We thank Terri Talbert-Hatch and Pete Hylton for their comments and support of Motorsports Studies. Please direct correspondence to Robert White ([email protected]), Professor of Sociology and Director of Motorsports Studies, or Andrew Baker ([email protected]), Lecturer, Department of Geography, School of Liberal Arts, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), 425 University Boulevard, Indianapolis, Indiana, 46202. 1 The Indy Racing League and the Indianapolis 500: Increasing Competition in Open-Wheeled Automobile Racing in the United States Abstract Over the course of its lengthy history, the popularity of open-wheeled automobile racing in the United States has waxed and waned. This is especially evident in recent years. The 1996 “split” between the Indy Racing League (IRL; later, the IndyCar Series) and Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART; later the Champ Car World Series) severely hurt the sport. Following the split there was a well-documented decline in fan interest from which the sport has not recovered. Less understood, however, is that under the Indy Racing League the Indianapolis 500, the premier event in open-wheeled racing in the United States, became more competitive. Ironically, while fan interest decreased in the Indy Racing League era, the quality of racing increased. The increased competition associated with the Indy Racing League is a historically significant development that bodes well for the future of the sport.

  • Indianapolis 500 Fun Facts
    Indianapolis 500 Fun Facts In 1909, Carl Fisher and three other investors purchased 325 acres in Indianapolis to serve as a test facility for Indianapolis’ burgeoning automobile industry. A 2.5 mile racetrack was built and named the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It was nicknamed “The Brickyard” due to the 3.2 million bricks used to pave the track. The Speedway is the world’s largest sports venue with the ability to accommodate about 400,000 spectators. Today, the racetrack serves as the home of the world-famous Indianapolis 500, NASCAR’s Brickyard 400, and other motorcycle events. The actual race day is on May 30, 2010, yet Indianapolis celebrates the Indianapolis 500 through a month-long celebration in May hosted by the 500 Festival committee and its numerous volunteers. Due to its significance to Indiana, the Indiana Business Research Center presents statistical facts about this Hoosier tradition. Indy 500 and Indianapolis 400,000 Individuals estimated to attend the Indianapolis 500 race on race day. More than 250,000 are admitted for the permanent seating and another 100,000 or more are admitted for the infield. If the speedway itself were a city, on race day, its population would rank as the 45th largest city nationwide. 798,382 The July 1, 2008, estimated population of Indianapolis, making it the nation’s 14th largest city. $336 million Estimated economic impact from the Indianapolis 500 race in Indianapolis, according to the most recent analysis in 2000.

  • TONY STEWART: Driver, Owner, Philanthropist
    TONY STEWART: Driver, Owner, Philanthropist Birthdate: May 20, 1971 Birthplace: Columbus, Indiana Hometown: Columbus, Indiana Residence: Columbus, Indiana Social Media: Facebook (@TonyStewart), Twitter (@TonyStewart) and Instagram (@TSRsmoke) DRIVER: Pick a racing series. Choose a style of racecar. Name a venue. Chances are, Tony Stewart has proven victorious – in and out of the driver’s seat. After a 20-year NASCAR driving career, the last 18 of which were spent in the NASCAR Cup Series, Stewart retired from his NASCAR driving duties following the 2016 season to focus on his co-ownership of Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) with industrialist Gene Haas, and to partake in the kind of open-wheel dirt racing where his path to NASCAR began. Since first wheeling a go-kart in 1978 at a Westport, Indiana, racetrack, Stewart went on to score 12 driving championships. His most widely-known titles are the three he scored in the NASCAR Cup Series. Stewart earned his first crown in 2002 by beating veteran racer Mark Martin by 38 points, a second in 2005 when he bested Greg Biffle by 35 points and a third in 2011 when he outdueled Carl Edwards by virtue of a tiebreaker. The two ended the season tied in points, but Stewart’s five-win tally trumped Edwards’ lone victory. Championships begat championships for Stewart. The Columbus, Indiana, native came to NASCAR in 1999 by way of the IndyCar Series, where he was the series champion in 1997. And before he made his mark in Indy cars, Stewart made a name for himself in the rough-and-tumble world of the United States Auto Club (USAC).
