IndyCar odds: How to bet Indy 500, pre-race lines

Helio Castroneves stunned the motor sports world by winning the Indianapolis 500 last year, his first victory at Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s greatest race since 2009.

Castroneves was a +3300 long shot (bet $10 to win $340) last season, and is at the same odds as of Wednesday for this year’s Greatest Spectacle in Racing.

Castroneves has won the Indy 500 four times (2002, 2002, 2009, 2021), tied for the most in history with legendary drivers A.J. Foyt (1961. 1064, 1967, 1977), Rick Mears (1979, 1984, 1988, 1991) and Al Unser (1097-71, 1978, 1987).
