No race in the United States has the history or pageantry of the Indianapolis 500. This will be the 107th running of this race, and 300,000 fans will be in the stands. We are sure to see plenty of excitement as drivers look to drink the milk and kiss the bricks at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but that latter tradition is relatively recent. Dale Jarrett was the first driver to ceremoniously kiss the bricks after winning the Brickyard 400 in 1996.

The most accomplished driver in the IndyCar Series is looking for just his second Indy 500 win. Scott Dixon has won a record six IndyCar driver’s championships, but his lone Indy 500 victory came in 2008.

Helio Castroneves won his fourth Indy 500 in 2021, becoming the fourth driver to win the race four times. He joined A.J. Foyt, A. Unser Sr. and Rick Mears as a four-time winner. There have been 20 drivers to win this race more than once. Somewhat surprisingly, Scott Dixon is not among those drivers to win this race multiple times.

A total of 75 different drivers have won the Indianapolis 500. This is a race that has always been fairly wide open, as there has never been a single driver to win it three straight times, and only five drivers have gone back-to-back. Castroneves became the first driver to win back-to-back Indy 500 titles since 1971 when he won here in 2001 and 2002.
Castroneves is one of the four drivers who have won the Indianapolis 500 at least four times. He joins A.J. Foyt, Al Unser Sr., and Rick Mears. All three of these men were contemporaries, as Foyt's wins spanned from 1961 through 1977, Unser's came from 1970 to 1987, and Mears' wins were between 1979 and 1991.
