I intend watching the Indy 500. I just always hope that an American wins the race. It is unfortunate that the Indy 500 has gone the way of the gov’t and gone international to appeal to the world instead of appealing to only America.

The race was originally advertised as the "International 500-Mile Sweepstakes Race" from 1911 to 1916.

it wasn't until 80 or 81 that it became just "The Indy 500".

It has always had an international flair, not just American.
