The orders are in, but who will be drinking the milk in Victory Lane on Sunday?
The 33-strong field for the 2025 Indy 500 have announced their milk choices for the race day.
It’s a tradition that dates back to winner Louis Mayer in 1936, who drank buttermilk in Victory Lane to recover from the intense heat of the race.
This tradition waned until Pat Flaherty drank milk in 1956, reigniting the custom, backed by the American Dairy Industry.
Except for a stint in 1993 when Emerson Fittipaldi had orange juice, milk has been the drink of choice post-race.
Despite some drivers requesting chocolate milk, the 2025 field mostly stuck to whole milk or 2%, with the full list available for fans to peruse.
