Comfort Airport June 11-13 is a descendant of the ground-breaking events at IMS 100 years ago, when aviation pioneers such as the Wright Brothers and Walter Brookins spent a week at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Franchitti Savors Sweet Second Indianapolis 500 Victory
Fifty years ago, a wreath was placed around Jim Rathmann's neck in Victory Circle at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to start another Indianapolis 500 tradition.

So the Scot especially has enjoyed the customs during his two trips to Victory Circle. Though both wins have come under caution, the swig of milk (a tradition started in 1936) still tastes as sweet.
