The Indy 500: Counting Down the Days (Because Apparently We Missed It)
Hey there, motorsports enthusiasts and casual Indy 500 milk enthusiasts (we see you)! You might be asking yourself, with a touch of existential dread, "Wait, when is the Indianapolis 500?" Did we, as a collective society, accidentally time travel past the "Greatest Spectacle in Racing?"
Fear not, race fans! While we can't explain that weird uncle who keeps showing up in a checkered onesie, we can assure you the Indy 500 isn't going anywhere... except around the track at a mind-bending speed, of course.
But Here's the Thing (Spoiler Alert: It Already Happened)
That's right, folks. The checkered flag has flown, the milk has been consumed (probably with questionable technique by some drivers), and Helio Castroneves isn't doing celebratory push-ups... yet (maybe next year?).
The 2024 Indy 500 was a thrilling race back in May (you know, when the weather was nice and everyone wasn't freaking out about forgetting sunscreen).
