All but two drivers have observed the milk tradition since 1936. The most recent example of a broken tradition took place when Emerson Fittpaldi drank orange juice to promote the citrus industry in 1992. This set off a huge public outrage.
According to the American Dairy Association Indiana, the milk for the Indy 500 winner was provided by Indiana dairy farmer Janet Dague of Kewanna.
This year, in addition, the first 100,000 race visitors got their own commemorative bottle of milk, so they too can raise a victory toast.
Some of my favorite racers choices:
Whole: Ed Carpenter, James Hichcliffe, Juan Pablo Montoya and Will Power
2%: Helio Castroneves, Ryan Hunter-Reay and Tony Kanaan.
Got Milk? --RoadDog
YOU'RE OLD IF YOU REMEMBER: When it was considered to be a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at a real restaurant with your parents. And, you would never ever think of misbehaving. Or else!!
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.
