Indy 500 Payouts: A Breakdown
Big Money at the Brickyard
The Indianapolis 500 is one of the most prestigious races in motorsports, and it comes with a hefty purse. The total prize pool for the 2023 race was $17 million, with the winner taking home a cool $3 million.
How the Payouts Work
The Indy 500 payouts are based on a number of factors, including the driver's finishing position, the number of laps led, and the number of bonus points earned.
The winner of the race receives the largest payout, followed by the second-place finisher, and so on. Drivers who lead the most laps also receive a bonus, and drivers who earn bonus points for things like qualifying in the top 10 or winning pole position can also increase their winnings.
A Rich History
The Indianapolis 500 has been awarding large payouts to its winners for over a century. The first winner of the race, Ray Harroun, won $10,000 in 1911. The purse has grown dramatically since then, and today it is one of the richest races in the world.
