The 95th Indianapolis 500 is scheduled to be run on May 29, 2011 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Here’s the schedule of events as far as the IndyCar series in concerned.
The prestigious race will be the third of the three-year long Centennial era, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the opening of the track (1909) and 100th anniversary of the first Indianapolis 500 (1911). The race was suspended during WWI (1917-18) and WWII (1942-45), therefore the 100th running of the event will not occur until 2016.
