- The 94th running of the Indy 500 will take place Sunday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which seats over 257'000 people. That number makes the stadium the second largest city in the state of Indiana on race days, and that's not even including the 150'000 or so that can fit into the infield.
- Ryan Briscoe will be the pole sitter (starting in the lead) but he will not have to compete against last year's winner, Dan Wheldon, who tragically passed away in a crash in Las Vegas last year.
-AJ Foyt, Al Unser and Rick Mears are tied for the lead in all-time wins at The 500 with 4 apiece.
Celtics, 76ers to play Game 7 Saturday
- The bottom-seeded Philadelphia 76ers have already defeated the top-seeded Chicago Bulls in this year's NBA playoffs. Now they're one win away from defeating the legendary Boston Celtics. Boston couldn't stop Jrue Holiday (who may have been motivated by legendary 76ers guard Allen Iverson's appearance at the game) from repeatedly driving to the rim and Holiday's teammates helped as well as 5 76ers scored more than 10 points. Only 2 Celtics (Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett) did the same
- Game 7 will be in Boston and the Celtics are 17-4 at home in Game 7's, but one of the four losses came to Philadelphia in 1982. Additionally, the Celtics lost a game 7 on the road in L.A. despite leading for much of the game.
Heat make Conference Finals
- The Miami Heat defeated the Indianapolis Pacers 105-93 in Game 6 of their series to win the extremely physical series 4 to 2. The Pacers had a 9 point lead in Game 3 of the series, at which point they had a 2-1 lead in the series. From that point on the Heat, lead by Lebron James on Dwyane Wade, went on a tear.
- In the final game of the series James scored 28 points, while Wade poured in 41. Wade's 26 points in the first half tie a franchise record for points in the first half.
- The Heat will move on to face the the winner of the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers and the first two games will be in Miami no matter which opponent they face.
