The Greatest Spectacle In Racing is exactly eight weeks away from today with the 109th running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge taking place on Sunday, May 25.
On the of the memorable aspects to the race is tradition of the winning driver drinking milk.
In a tradition that dates back to 1936, when Louis Meyer pulled into Victory Lane after winning his third Indianapolis 500 and requested buttermilk.
Today, the tradition has become part of the DNA of the Greatest Spectacle In Racing with the American Dairy Association Of Indiana awarding a dairy farmer from the state of Indiana the honor of providing the milk to the winner of the Indianapolis 500.
