The 500-mile Classic Indianapolis Motor Speedway sign. Hundreds of balloons are released into the air to kick off the races. Massive amount of balloons fill sky. Nice footage from race. Spectators behind netting as cars race by. Crowd rises to their feet. Four car pile-up, with no injuries. Nice panning of fence line with young boys smiling at camera. Roger Ward, first in 1959, second in 1960 and third in 1961, has the winning habit as he cops the Indianapolis auto classic in record time and wins $125,000.00.
