By Mark Robinson

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Simon Pagenaud’s dominance in the Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama was interrupted briefly by a late charge from

Rahal stole the lead from Pagenaud with a pass on Lap 82 of the 90-lap event that involved contact between the two Verizon IndyCar Series
drivers’ cars, only to see Pagenaud return the favor four laps later and drive on to victory.

How the Indianapolis 500 became more than a race
"THERE WAS CHRISTMAS, THERE WAS EASTER, AND THERE WAS THE INDIANAPOLIS 500."

He lured three businessmen by the names Newby, Wheeler and Allison to join in. They forked over $72,000 for the land. The Pressley Farm
became Indianapolis Motor Parkway. A speedway was born.
Built to serve as an automotive testing ground — Come see how far our cars can go before blowing up! — it instead became an automotive
proving ground. But not without a few casualties. The deaths piled up in those early years, mostly due to the track’s shoddy surface, and
the calls came, one after another, for Fisher to shut the place down. “(These races) are an amusement congenial only to savages and should
be stopped,” wrote The New York Times. “There is abundant legal warrant for doing so.”
Only Fisher wouldn’t blink. He improvised. He repaved his 2.5-mile oval with bricks and dreamed up “the grandest grind ever,” an exhaustive
competition set for Memorial Day weekend 1911 that promised to test man and machine like nothing else on earth. Indianapolis would host a
500-mile race.
