Race Notes
- The 1991 Indy 500 was held shortly after the conclusion on Operation Desert Storm. General Norman Schwarzkopf was invited to serve as grand marshal.
- Michael Andretti's second place finish would be the best Indy 500 result in his career. Michael Andretti led the most laps, and led as late as 13 laps to go, but failed to win, adding to the Andretti Curse.
- The race's 75th Running was highly publicized, and the event was advertised as the "Diamond Jubilee Running."
