1916 Indianapolis 500

Results of the 1916 300-Mile International Sweepstakes Race held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Tuesday, May 30, 1916.

The race is notable because it covered 300 miles because of World War I, and it was the only Indianapolis 500 scheduled for less than 500 miles.


 * Seven of the cars were entered by the Speedway or its owners, in order to ensure a strong field during World War I. None of them finished in the top five.
