Only the largest single sporting event in the great USA.
Beg to differ (yet again). The Daytona 500 is easily the biggest race out there. Matter of fact, the NASCAR race that goes on at Indy is bigger than the Indy 500.
As for sporting events, NOTHING beats the Super Bowl in the US. World wide, and I hate to say it, the World Cup is even bigger...

My apologies. You are right. The Indy 500 is no longer the largest single day attendance event. It used to be just a few years ago. The Brickyard does not even release attendance figure any longer. They used to draw 500,000 on race day. I believe Danica will increase viewers next year though. My hearty congrats to you Danica.

Agreed. The Indy 500's stock has fallen dramatically over the past few years.
