Kanaan Wins with Milk

News EditorDairy Checkoff

Crossing the finish line wasn’t be the only glory for race car driver Tony Kanaan at the Indy 500.

Kanaan carried on a tradition dating back to the late 1920s, when second-time race winner Lewis Meyer requested a refreshing glass of ice cold milk after his win. Since then, nearly 60 winners of the iconic race have been presented with a bottle of milk — now engraved with the phrase “Indianapolis 500 Winner” — after crossing the finish line.
