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

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

                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!

                    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.

                      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!

                          It takes 500 laps to win the Indy 500.
