The earliest cars made just for racing were built low to the ground and just wide enough for a single passenger, the driver. In the early 1900s, the drivers were the same people who invented and built the first passenger cars. For example, Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company, sometimes raced his cars. In 1906, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway was founded by Carl Fisher. On August 19, 1909, the first car race took place at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Twelve thousand were in attendance. In 1911, the first Indianapolis 500 was held there with 40 racers. Finishing in 6 hours and 42 minutes, first-place winner Ray Harroun clocked in at what seemed back in those days an unbelievably high average speed of 74.59 mph!
Over the years, as technology improved, these cars became lighter and faster. There are two kinds of open-wheel racecars, IndyCars and Formula One. IndyCars are almost exactly identical(完全相同的) to each other, so the race is a test of driving skills around a street, or race course, mostly in the U.S.; Formula One cars are customized(定做的) and raced on road courses around the world. Unlike the kind of car your family drives, neither IndyCars or F1 cars have doors, and their wheels are on the outside of the car’s body.
In 1936, Louis Meyer asked for a bottle of buttermilk after he became the first three-time Indy 500 winner, which led to the tradition of winners drinking a bottle of milk on Victory Lane(车道).
The Indy 500 has grown into one of the most anticipated(期待的) international racing events of the year, with hundreds of thousands of fans flooding into the stands each May. In 2011, it celebrated its 100th event---and tickets sold out for the first time ever.
1.What do we know about the first Indianapolis 500?

B. To show his influence on drivers.
C. To describe a fun fact about the Indianapolis 500.
D. To explain the important role of the Indianapolis 500.
