Little 500
The track hosts the annual Pay Less Little 500 on the Saturday of the Memorial Day weekend, the night before the Indianapolis 500. At 500 laps, the race is unusually long for sprint car races, and is considered one of the premier sprint car races. The field consists of 33 cars lined up in eleven rows of three, mimicking the traditional Indy 500 lineup. Many eventual Indy 500 drivers competed in the Little 500 over the years. The 61st edition of the Pay Less Little 500 will pay out over $123,000, making it the biggest asphalt payout in the world.
