There won't be any fans at the Indianapolis 500 after Roger Penske, who bought the iconic speedway in January, changed his mind.

Penske at first said he wouldn't run the race without fans, and then said spectators would be allowed at 50 percent capacity. That was later lowered to 25 percent capacity, and now the decision has been made to not have fans at all, as the number of coronavirus cases continue to rise across the country and in Indiana.

The Indy 500 was earlier moved to August 23 from Memorial Day weekend because of the pandemic.
