Former GOP congresswoman reveals she is voting for Vice President Harris in 2024.

On August 19, 1909, the first race was held at the Indianapolis
Motor Speedway, now the home of the world’s most famous
motor racing competition, the Indianapolis 500.

Built on 328 acres of farmland five miles northwest of
Indianapolis, Indiana, the speedway was started by local
businessmen as a testing facility for Indiana’s growing
automobile industry.         

       
The idea was that occasional races at the track would pit cars
from different manufacturers against each other. After seeing
what these cars could do, spectators would presumably head
down to the showroom of their choice to get a closer look.

In that first five-mile race, 12,000 spectators watched Austrian
engineer Louis Schwitzer win with an average speed of 57.4
miles per hour. The track’s surface of crushed rock and tar
proved a disaster, breaking up in a number of places and
causing the deaths of two drivers, two mechanics and two
spectators.

Archaeologists in Iowa have unearthed an ancient mastodon
skull in pristine condition, which they hope will provide clues
about human interaction with the ancient animal.

The bones were excavated earlier this month from a creek bank
in Wayne, taking nearly two weeks to complete.

The eroding site was first brought to the attention of Office of
the State Archaeologist, Iowa in 2022.
