Sunday’s 100th running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by PennGrade Motor Oil will be the first sellout in the history of the race.
Indianapolis Motor Speedway officials announced Wednesday morning that all suites, reserved seating and infield general admission tickets for the historic event are sold out.
“There’s no event in the world like the Indy 500,” said Hulman & Co. CEO Mark Miles. “This sellout is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Greatest Spectacle in Racing, the thrilling racing of the Verizon IndyCar Series and the bright future for both.”
“The Indy 500 is a uniquely Hoosier event,” said Indianapolis Motor Speedway President Doug Boles. “The community support for the this race has fueled excitement for the 100th Running and paves the way for the next century for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Indy 500.”
In conjunction with the sellout, it was announced that the long-standing practice of delaying the television broadcast in Indianapolis will be suspended for 2016. This is only the third time the race will be broadcast live on Central Indiana television and the first time since the early 1950s.
“With no way to accommodate more fans at IMS, we are delighted to be able to suspend the television delay in Indianapolis, making it possible for those cannot be with us on race day to watch the 100th running live,” Boles said. “The traditional delayed coverage on WRTV will continue, so race fans who attend the race will be able to go home with their families and watch the broadcast Sunday evening.”
Tickets for Carb Day and Legends Day still remain.
