The 82nd Indianapolis 500 was held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana on Sunday, May 24, 1998. This was the third Indianapolis 500 run as part of the Indy Racing League, but the first fully-sanctioned by the IRL after they relied on USAC to sanction the 1996 and 1997 races. The race was part of the 1998 Pep Boys Indy Racing League season. Eddie Cheever, a former Formula One driver who had competed in Indy car racing since 1990, highlighted his racing career with this lone Indianapolis win. Cheever finished three seconds ahead of second place Buddy Lazier, the 1996 winner. Cheever became the first owner/driver to win the "500" since A. J. Foyt in 1977. During time trials, Billy Boat secured the first pole position at Indy for the Foyt team since 1975. The race is remembered for a chaotic pileup in turn three, which collected six cars and injured Jim Guthrie. Tony Stewart, in his third "500", and last such with Team Menard, blew an engine just after taking the lead on lap 21, and finished last (33rd). This was the first Indianapolis victory for the Dallara chassis. In the second year utilizing the 4.0 L, normally aspirated, 32-valve production-based engines (Aurora L47 and Infiniti VH), qualifying speeds climbed, topping out nearly six miles per hour faster than 1997. The 1998 race ushered in a compacted, two-week schedule for the Indy 500, omitting an entire week of practice, and trimming qualifying from four days down to two. A morning shower delayed the start of the race by just over a half hour, but the race was run to completion without further interruption.
