It’s one of the most famous traditions from the Indianapolis 500 – find out which milk the 2204 drivers have chosen if they win!
After winning the Indianapolis 500, drivers celebrate with their team and family, a tradition exemplified by Josef Newgarden in 2023 when he jumped into the crowd. Following the celebration, the winner receives a laurel wreath and is handed a glass of ice-cold milk, a famous Indy 500 tradition. The tradition of drinking milk in Victory Lane was originally a marketing initiative by the Indiana Dairy Association that became iconic in racing history. Drivers can choose from full, skimmed, or 2% milk, with some, like Juan Pablo Montoya, opting for chocolate milk, or in the case of Emerson Fittipaldi in 1993, drinking orange juice, a decision that ruffled some local feathers. The milk choices for the 33 drivers participating in the 2024 Indy 500 have been finalized, revealing a common theme among the preferences.
