From the May 27, 2016, Indianapolis Star "Thanks to Louis, drivers make milk choices" by Allison Carter.
"After you've been in a blazing hot car traveling in excess of 200 mph, there's nothing you want more than a glass of milk. Or, at least that is so the venerable Indianapolis tradition goes.
"In 1936, Louis Meyer requested a glass of buttermilk after winning his third race and the rest is history.
"Buttermilk is no longer offered, but drivers do get to choose between whole, 2 percent and fat-free. Every driver records their preference before the race in case they win, and the milk is kept on ice to be drunk (and often dumped on the driver's head) in victory lane.
"This year, whole milk led the way with 17 requests. Next came 2 percent with 13 drivers opting for the lower-fat option. One of these was Alexander Rossi. Just three drivers-- Charles Kimball, Pippa Mann and Spencer Pigot-- went fat-free.

YOU'RE OLD IF YOU REMEMBER: When you got your windshield cleaned, oil checked and gas pumped without asking, for free, every time.And you got trading stamps and other things for free as well.
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
