Retromaniac Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 If the Indy 500 has been around for over 100 years, how is the Firestone Indy 225 the league's 100th event? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfannova Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 BECAUSE the IRL was only formed in 1996....It was a breakaway from CART. Tony George decided he wanted to ruin Open Wheel racing in the US, so he did so very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakwood Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Because the Indy 500 was one of 99 races before the firestone 225? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 The 500 hasn't been around for 100 years...yet. It started in 1911 if I'm not mistaken. So its 94 in 2005. Its the IRL 100th race is what I'm assuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclopsis Joe Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Yeah, IRL and CART are two different things, so technically...IRL is a relatively new league. I don't speak for democrats, democrats don't speak for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
