Umjaho wokuqala wabanjwa ngo-1911 futhi wanqotshwa nguRay Harroun. Lo mcimbi wagubha iminyaka yawo eyi-100 ngonyaka ka-2011, kanti owama-100 wabanjwa ngonyaka ka-2016. Lo mcimbi wawumiswa kabili, kusukela ngo-1917 kuya ku-1918 ngenxa yeMpi Yezwe I futhi kusukela ngo-1942 kuya ku-1945 ngenxa yeMpi Yezwe II. Ngezikhathi ezimbili ezihlukene, umjaho wawuyingxenye yeFIA World Championships; phakathi kuka-1925 no-1928, iWorld Manufacturers 'Championship futhi phakathi kuka-1950 no-1960, iWorld Drivers' Championship.  UMarcus Ericsson ungumpetha wamanje. Abashayeli abaphumelele kakhulu ngu-A. J. Foyt, u-Al Unser Sr., uRick Mears no-Hélio Castroneves, ngamunye wabo ophumelele lo mncintiswano izikhathi ezine. Umshayeli osebenzayo onokunqoba okuningi nguHélio Castroneves. URick Mears uphethe irekhodi lezikhundla eziyisithupha zokuqala emsebenzini wakhe. Umnikazi wemoto ophumelele kakhulu nguRoger Penske, ongumnikazi we-Indianapolis Motor Speedway neThimba likaPenske, elinamanani angu-18 okuwina kanye namaphuzu angu-18 okuqala. UPenske ubuye anqobe amahlanu e-IndyCar Grand Prix, ebibanjelwe enkambeni yomgwaqo ehlanganisiwe.  Lo mcimbi ugcwele isiko, imikhosi yangaphambi komjaho, imikhosi yangemva komjaho, kanye nenqubo yomjaho. Izinkambiso eziphawuleka kakhulu nezithandwa kakhulu yilezi: inkundla yezimoto ezingu - 33 ezimi ngasemgqeni obanzi kathathu ukuze kuqale, ukuhlabelela unyaka nonyaka kwekwaya ethi "Back Home Again in Indiana", nebhodlela lobisi lomgwaqo wokunqoba. Okunye okuyingqayizivele ukuthi ukufaneleka kudinga ukuba umshayeli agcwalise imizuliswano emine, kunokuba agcwalise owodwa. Ukuqokwa kunesiphetho sempelasonto esihlukile. Abaphathi be-Speedway abashicileli inani elisemthethweni lababekhona, kodwa indawo yokuhlala unomphela ingaphezu kuka-250,000, futhi abaxhasi bangaphakathi benkundla bakhuphula inani lababekhona ngosuku lomjaho cishe babe ngu-300,000.
