    I would imagine you would have to complete the entire 200 laps to win.

    daren1 and Tommyh....Come on boys....start your engines!!!!!!!!!

    About the same as a dog finishing off a punch bowl.

    2.5mile track.....200 laps....500miles....33 cars....11 rows of 3 cars...google...simple!

    Oh let's all just go there and see, first hand!   LOL

    As long as the beer stand is open and there isn't too long a wait at the restrooms! Party at Indianapolis!

    When I googled this question, it told me that Tommyh is correct.


    Indy 500 would seem to indicate that the answer is 500....it is not!

    That sure answers all the questions, doesn't it? wow

    500 i'll bet, it's not who is in frount but rather who finishes 500 laps first

    Tommyh

    That's true too.But you still have to finish the 500 miles.(Or 200 laps).That's what his Q was about.
    daren1

    so the indy 500 is not 500 laps but 500 miles is that about right?
    Tommyh

    I do believe.The first car to complete 500 miles is the winner & the race is over.All other placings follow that car whether they have completed 500 miles or not.

    Hm...I wonder why they have the 500 after the name Indianapolis? Hold on...I'll have to consult with my Quiji board again!

    500

    It takes 500 laps to win the Indy 500.

    Why did you answer your own question, hamp?
    In any case, your answer is incorrect.
