Parking Lot Outside Turn One, Indianapolis Speedway
Add to SetSummary
Indianapolis Motor Speedway held its first Indianapolis 500-Mile Race in 1911. The inaugural race's (then) unusual length and considerable prize money attracted some 80,000 spectators. Large crowds continued to come in the following years, as shown by this jumble of cars in a parking lot at the 1912 race.
