This is the richest purse in Indianapolis 500 history. An incredible 3 million dollar payoff for Helio.
Helio please NO OFFSHORE ACCOUNTS !!!!
You deserve every penny.
Does anyone know the exact source of all this money ? Is the majority from gate receipts or from commercial sponsorship awards ?? I would love to see an accurate breakdown. I am wondering what kind of prize money it would take to get more Formula 1 guys and NASCAR guys over to try the 500 like back in the day ?
All figures include additional awards for pole, lap leader, etc.
