INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis 500 is expected to be sold out and the local blackout will be lifted so fans in the area unable to attend can watch it live.
It will be the first grandstand sell-out since 2016, the 100th running of the Indy 500. If the grandstands don’t reach capacity, Indianapolis Motor Speedway implements a local television blackout in which the race can only be watched inside the city later that day on replay.This image released by Neon shows Benjamin Pajak in a scene from “The Life of Chuck.” (Neon via AP)
