Indy 500 in the books, but heat isn't a record

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The Indianapolis 500 is in the record books, but it won't go down as the hottest race day ever.

The National Weather Service in Indianapolis says the temperature at the end of the race was 91 degrees. That's one degree shy of the race-day record of 92 set in 1937.
