Yankee 300
American auto race / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Yankee 300 was a stock car race held at the Indianapolis Raceway Park road course and sanctioned by the United States Auto Club (USAC). It was run most years during the first weekend of May, serving as an unofficial kickoff to the Month of May in Indianapolis. One of the premier races on the USAC Stock Car series calendar, the event was held in high prestige for a period of times, attracting drivers from the rival National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) circuit. The inaugural event was run in 1963.[1]
