Countdown to Indy: 100 headlines that shaped the greatest spectacle in racing
Ryan Hunter-Reay’s 2014 Indianapolis 500 triumph wasn’t just notable for being the driver’s first victory at the yard of bricks.
Hunter-Reay’s victory ended a streak of non-American drivers winning the race.
Since 2007, Hunter-Reay is the only American driver to win the Indy 500. The stretch between 2007 and 2014 was the longest without an U.S.-born winner.
We’re counting down the final 100 days until the 100th running of the Indy 500, featuring a classic moment from The Greatest Spectacle in Racing each day. Read all the posts as we add them at our official Indy 100 page.
