context_page_description: The 1912 Indianapolis 500-Mile Race, or International 500-Mile Sweepstakes Race, the second such race in history, was held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Thursday, May 30, 1912.
  No race is won until the tape is crossed and I realized that all the time. It's hard luck, but it's all in the game.
  I did my best, and since I've lost out, I'm for the man who picked the prize.
