I’ll bet your first thought was the Indy500?
Right?
A good guess, as the Indy500 is an annual automobile race held at Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) in Speedway, Indiana, United States, an enclave suburb of Indianapolis. The event is traditionally held over Memorial Day weekend, usually the last weekend of May. It is contested as part of the IndyCar Series, the top level of American open-wheel car racing, a formula colloquially known as "Indy car racing". The track itself is nicknamed the "Brickyard", as the racing surface was paved in brick in the fall of 1909. One yard of brick remains exposed at the start/finish line. The event, billed as The Greatest Spectacle in Racing, is considered part of the Triple Crown of Motorsport along with the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Monaco Grand Prix, with which it typically shares a date.
Most years this would be the answer.
But not 2022.
Today marks the anniversary of the Indy3318 at Lucas Oil Stadium.
What makes the Indy3318 the most significant sporting event that took place in Indianapolis in 2022?
A) Bama could be 3peat national champions as of last night
B) Bryce would’ve likely won 2 natties and won the heisman again
C) Y’all haters would’ve still had 1980
BUT INSTEAD
A) Georgia is back to back champs
B) Bryce has 0 titles as a starter, Stetson Bennett has two and got an invite to nyc instead of Bryce with this pst December
C) Georgia went from 40+ years without a national Championship to winning 2 in less than 365 days. And now Georgia has officially usurped Bama as the new king dynasty of college football
Just think, a few clutch plays by Stetson Bennett and Bryce young collapsing under pressure really altered the rajectory of college football forever one freezing cold night in Indianapolis, 365 days ago to this date!
