Indianapolis 500

The Indianapolis 500 (commonly known as the Indy 500) is the 5th Grand Prix race on the 2024 IndyCar Series calendar, but really it is so much more. Together with the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Monaco Grand Prix (which typically occurs on the same day as the Indy 500, along with NASCAR’s Coca Cola 600), the Indianapolis 500 is part of the Triple Crown of Motorsport. Only one man, Englishman Graham Hill, has ever completed the Triple Crown, though several famous drivers have won two out of the three races. Winning the Indy 500 itself is considered at least as prestigious as being the year’s champion of the entire IndyCar Series (if not more so), so you can expect drivers to push their cars that much harder to win, not just finish well, to add their name to the illustrious list of drivers that have taken the checkered flag at the famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway (Al Unser, AJ Foyt, Fernando Alonso, Rick Mears…). The race, as its name implies, is a 500-mile (805 km) endurance slog involving 200 laps of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s 2.5 mile (4.0 km) oval asphalt track that can accommodate a mind-boggling 400,000 spectators (250,000 in permanent seating). Last year, Josef Newgarden of Team Penske passed Marcus Ericsson of Andretti Global on the last lap for an incredibly dramatic first Indy 500 victory. This year’s race, the 108th running of the Indianapolis 500 (incredible to think what those first cars must have looked like in the first running!), will hopefully be just as enthralling.

Which team and which driver will win the Indianapolis 500 in 2024?

After his incredible last lap pass to victory in the 2023 Indianapolis 500, Josef Newgarden of Team Penske will be all revved up to repeat in 2024. Scott McLaughlin (Penske) won’t want his teammate to have it all his own way, however, and reigning IndyCar Series champion Alex Palou (Chip Ganassi Racing) will be desperate to add an Indy 500 title to his list of honors. Meanwhile Marcus Ericsson (Chip Ganassi Racing) will be out for payback this year, having won in 2022 but also the one who was pipped in the last lap by Newgarden in 2023. Takuma Sato (Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing) is a two-time Indianapolis 500 winner who knows what it takes on this track. Keep an eye on veteran Scott Dixon (Chip Ganassi Racing) and last year’s Rookie of the Year Marcus Armstrong (Chip Ganassi Racing) as well. Reserve your seats at the 2024 Indianapolis 500 with tickets from TicketX today and be there to find out who takes the checkered flag at  Indianapolis Motor Speedway this season!

Is attending the Indianapolis 500 exciting? Is attending the Indianapolis 500 fun?

To attend the Indianapolis 500 is to experience one of sport’s greatest events, on par (racing fans would argue) with the Super Bowl, World Cup Final, or World Series. The sheer energy of 400,000 racing fans is pretty hard to get your head around, but don’t let the numbers dissuade you; this is a well-organized event where people are friendly, passionate, and just happy to be there. Along with all the drama that will no doubt unfold on the track on Sunday in the big race, qualifying on Saturday is a good way to get a taste of the speed (and sound) of the cars beforehand. Tailgating is fantastic fun, with fans gathering to eat, drink, grill, and socialize, and you can even camp out or park your RV on site (reserve ahead). Entertainment will be ongoing all weekend, with beer gardens, parties, and an epic race day concert featuring DJ Excision and special guests Dom Dolla, Gryffin, Sullivan King, and Timmy Trumpet.Get onto TicketX right now to book your Indianapolis 500 tickets and join the biggest party of the year!
