INDIANAPOLIS -- Doug Boles is more confident than ever: Outside of last year, this May 28 will be the largest crowd Indianapolis Motor Speedway has seen in at least the past 20 years.
Does that including topping the estimated 300,000 that showed up in 2011 for the 100th anniversary of the Indianapolis 500?
“With the exception of last year,” the IMS president said, “this race will be bigger than (any race,) at least as far back as I can go.”
Boles, who tries to call customers every night to invite them back for the 500, expressed similar optimism a little more than a month ago.
