INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The Indianapolis 500 will start one hour later this year because of Indiana's switch to daylight-saving time.
Most of the state, including Indianapolis, previously observed Eastern Standard Time year-round. But starting in April, when daylight-saving time begins, Indianapolis will join the East Coast on EDT for six months.
That means the May 28 race, which was changed last year from the traditional 11 a.m. start to noon to boost television ratings, will begin at 1 p.m. to keep its national television schedule unchanged.
