Indianapolis 500 Field's Secret Milk Preferences Revealed
By Kyle Koster
The tradition of slugging milk after winning the Indianapolis 500 dates back to 1933. Louis Meyer was parched after racing, so he naturally requested a delicious thirst-quenching glass of thick buttermilk. Yum.
An important part of preparation at the Brickyard is to decide what type of milk one wants waiting at Victory Circle. A majority of today’s field would like to celebrate with 2 percent, while a couple brave souls want whole milk. A few health nuts are opting for skim and a few racers couldn’t care less.
This is very disappointing news because the best kind of milk is quite clearly half percent.
