It sold out. Seriously, the Indy 500 has never sold out before, but since it sold out completely, they allowed the local black out on tv broadcasting to be lifted for the first time since 1950
The Andretti team took 1st and 2nd. However... the famous racing family hasn't won an Indy 500 since Mario Andretti's 1969 win. Between Mario, Michael, Jeff and Marco, the Andrettis have only one one Indy 500 in 59 tries.
By the way, trivia time, the 1st, 50th and 100th winner of the Indy 500 have all been rookies.
This was the first Penske free podium of the season
