U.S. 500

The U.S. 500 was an automobile race sanctioned by CART on May 26, 1996 at the Michigan International Speedway as an alternative to the 1996 Indianapolis 500.

Tony George, owner of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, formed the Indy Racing League as an alternative to CART. While the Indianapolis 500 had continued to be sanctioned by the United States Auto Club (USAC) since the formation of CART in 1979, CART teams and drivers represented the vast majority of the Indy field, and USAC had taken steps to ensure that the technical specifications for Indy did not preclude CART teams from participating. In 1996, however, following his creation of the IRL, George stipulated that 25 of the 33 starting positions at Indy would be reserved for the top 25 teams which ran events in his series. This move created potential scheduling conflicts with CART-sanctioned events.

Interpreting this policy as a lockout of CART teams, the CART board agreed to stage the U.S. 500 at an alternative venue on Memorial Day weekend, the traditional date for the Indianapolis 500. George, on the other hand, viewed the refusal of CART teams to compete for the remaining eight positions on the Indy grid as a walkout/boycott.

Callin' all the stars to fall
And catch the silver sunlight in your hands
Come for me and set me free
Lift me up and take me where I stand
She believes in everything
And everyone, and you and yours and mine
I waited for a thousand years
For you to come and blow me out my mind
Hey Lyla, a star's about to fall
So what d'you say Lyla?
The world around us makes me feel so small Lyla
If you can't hear me call then I can't say Lyla
Heaven help you catch me if I fall
She's the queen of all I've seen
And every song and city far and near
Heaven-hell my mademoiselle
She ring the bell for all the world to hear
Hey Lyla, a star's about to fall
So what d'you say Lyla?
The world around us makes me feel so small Lyla
If you can't hear me call then I can't say Lyla
Heaven'll help you catch me if I fall
Hey Lyla, a star's about to fall
So what d'you say Lyla?
The world around us makes me feel so small Lyla
If you can't hear me call then I can't say Lyla
Heaven'll help you catch me when I fall
Hey Lyla
