It’s officially the month of May, and that means the 2022 Indianapolis 500 is right around the corner. One of the biggest motor sports events in the world has some grand traditions that go along with it — including a celebratory bottle of milk.
Nearly a century told, it’s tradition for the Indy 500 winners to celebrate the victory with a few sips from a bottle of milk before pouring it on their heads and subsequently splashing everyone else in their vicinity. And drivers get to choose what type of milk they hope to celebrate with, thanks to the The American Dairy Association Indiana.
The organization polls Indy 500 drivers to get their preferred milk choice, should they win “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” The options are simple — whole, 2 percent or fat-free milk — though many drivers (hilariously) would like a few more options. Jimmie Johnson already shared his completed poll, but now we have a look at everyone else’s preference.
