Jennifer’s 2nd Annual Indy 500 ContestLast May I held a little Indy 500 trivia contest. I thought it was so much fun that I’d do it again.
The details
The person who correctly answers the most questions wins. Last year several of you really rocked it and got all of the questions correct. This year I’m adding some extra hard bonus questions. In further event of a tie, a winner will be chosen at random from the participants who correctly answered the most questions.
The prize will come from the official Gift Shop of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It might be something like this. Or something like this. Or this. Or this. Or even this. Or THIS!
The Deadline
Answers must be EMAILED here no later than Wednesday, May 21st, 7:00 p.m. (CST).
The Rest
Please DO NOT leave your answers in comments.
Yes, you can use the internet.
THE QUESTIONS
1) How many laps are run in the Indy 500?
2) Where was this year’s pole sitter born?
3) Who is the oldest driver to qualify for this year’s Indy 500?
4) Who is the second youngest driver to qualify for this year's 500?
5) Which of the following celebrities is not part owner of an IndyCar team?
