Who wants milk after a usually hot and always physically taxing 500-mile race? Well, whoever wins Sunday’s Indianapolis 500 will definitely want a big jug of milk.
Typically, following an immediate on-track celebration, the Indy 500-winning driver pulls the car into Victory Lane, and a representative from the American Dairy Association Indiana — also known as the “Veteran Milk Man” — hands the driver a bottle of milk. The winner usually takes a few sips before dumping it on their head and maybe splashing some folks nearby.
