Roger Penske expects fans in attendance for the 105th running of the Indianapolis 500 in May. He was unable to open the gates at Indianapolis Motor Speedway to spectators last August because of COVID-19 restrictions. It was the first Indy 500 in history to run in front of empty grandstands. Penske wouldn’t put a number on attendance hopes for this year’s race but said 170,000 tickets already have been sold. The speedway can hold about 400,000 on race day. Penske also said he thinks the contracts of Brad Keselowski, Will Power and Simon Pagenaud will be renewed.
