This Sunday, each driver hopes to be pulling into Victory Circle at the end of the Indy 500, enjoying that refreshing bottle of milk! A tradition that Louis Meyer started back in the ’30s and still lives on today. Each driver is asked in advance what their milk preference is. They’re options are whole, 2% and skim milk. But what about chocolate milk?! Even driver Juan Pablo Montoya asked for it this year! He’s not alone, others have asked why it’s not an option. And James Hinchcliffe even requested BUTTERMILK, which was what Louis Meyer asked for that started the famous tradition. Have you ever tasted buttermilk?! Yea, there’s a reason~
