Miller Lite Carb Day (Friday)
Carb Day is observed on the last Friday before the Indy 500. Its name comes from the word "carburetion". It is the final practice session for race teams before the big day and originally the day teams would tune their carburetors or chassis to make sure the cars are fit for the race. Although no carburetors have been used by qualified vehicles since 1963, the name has stuck. Carb Day is now synonymous with a celebration to kick off the greatest weekend in racing!
