The first <a href="/wiki/1979_Indianapolis_500#USAC/CART_"Split"" title="1979 Indianapolis 500">USAC/CART "split"</a> in 1979 had already caused major controversy in the sport. The Indianapolis 500 counted for points towards the first CART championship in <a href="/wiki/1979_SCCA/CART_Indy_Car_Series" title="1979 SCCA/CART Indy Car Series">1979</a>, after a protracted legal dispute, and it remained that way in 1980 with a short-lived truce under the Championship Racing League (CRL) banner, which ended acrimoniously halfway through the season. <a href="/wiki/United_States_Auto_Club" title="United States Auto Club">USAC</a> unsuccessfully tried to revive their own championship, and therefor the Indianapolis 500 did not pay points towards the CART championship in either 1981 and 1982. By that point, the "500" was the lone paved championship race sanctioned by USAC. Nevertheless, CART entrants comprised the majority, while other part-time or "Indy only" entries competed mostly on a one-off basis. </p><p>An arrangement around that time was put in place to recognize the Indianapolis 500 on the CART schedule from 1983, with USAC remaining as the sanctioning body for the event. The Indy 500 would be contested by the CART-based teams, along with numerous part-time and "Indy only" entries. Stability returned, and the sport settled into a relative harmony through 1995. Rules between the two sanctioning bodies were vastly similar, and for the most part, the same chassis and engines were used by both, with only minor technical differences. </p><p>In the early 1990s, newly named <a href="/wiki/Indianapolis_Motor_Speedway" title="Indianapolis Motor Speedway">Indianapolis Motor Speedway</a> president <a href="/wiki/Tony_George" title="Tony George">Tony George</a> began exploring options of changes in the sport of Indy cars. Sharply rising costs, the lack of many <a href="/wiki/Oval_track_racing" title="Oval track racing">ovals</a> on the schedule, and the dwindling number of American participants were among his stated concerns. As early as May 1991, George announced intentions to change the engine formula to 3.5 L (210 in<sup>3</sup>) <a href="/wiki/Naturally_aspirated_engine" title="Naturally aspirated engine">normally aspirated</a> powerplants (very similar to the engines used in <a href="/wiki/Formula_One" title="Formula One">Formula One</a> and <a href="/wiki/Group_C" title="Group C">Group C</a> at the time),<sup id="cite_ref-Star05-26-1991pg18_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Star05-26-1991pg18-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> a proposal that never got past the planning stages. George joined the CART board of directors in 1992 as a non-voting member, but resigned in 1994 due to disagreements with the direction of the series and a lack of influence in prospective changes. </p><p>In the summer of 1994, George announced that the Indianapolis Motor Speedway would create its own series, the <a href="/wiki/IndyCar" title="IndyCar">Indy Racing League</a>, with the Indianapolis 500 as its centerpiece. George blueprinted the new series as a lower-cost alternative to CART, with an emphasis on attracting American grassroots drivers, an all-<a href="/wiki/Oval_track_racing" title="Oval track racing">oval</a> schedule, and new cars from 1997 with <a href="/wiki/Naturally_aspirated_engine" title="Naturally aspirated engine">normally-aspirated</a>, "production-based" engines, targeting a reduction in performance. As a result, the Indy 500 would no longer be recognized on the CART calendar, and machines used in the CART series would no longer be allowed at the Speedway starting in 1997. Furthermore, due to a planned "rules freeze", CART's 1996 model year chassis and engines were excluded as well. </p><p>Almost immediately, a turbulent political controversy erupted, with participants, media, fans, manufacturers, and sponsors all apprehensive of the sport's direction and pending shakeup. The prevailing opinion around the CART paddock was largely negative regarding the formation of the IRL. The <a href="/wiki/1995_IndyCar_season" class="mw-redirect" title="1995 IndyCar season">1995 season</a> and <a href="/wiki/1995_Indianapolis_500" title="1995 Indianapolis 500">1995 Indy 500</a> were held as normal, but under a growing cloud of uncertainty about the future of the sport. During the summer of 1995, and into the offseason, the two factions of CART and the IRL were unable to reconcile on much of anything, and the "split" began to take shape. The biggest salvo was made on July 3, 1995, when IRL officials announced that the top 25 drivers in IRL points would be guaranteed starting positions in the 1996 Indy 500 (see <a href="#25/8_Rule_and_locked-in_entries">25/8 Rule and locked-in entries</a>). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Boycott_by_CART_teams">Boycott by CART teams</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1996_Indianapolis_500&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Boycott by CART teams"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Throughout much of the summer and fall of 1995, <a href="/wiki/Championship_Auto_Racing_Teams" title="Championship Auto Racing Teams">CART</a> teams in general were unhappy with the formation of the IRL.

Apropos to the situation, many IRL teams actually purchased used 1994 and 1995 model-year chassis from rival CART teams.

Due to expected difficulties replacing the blown engine in his primary car, <a href="/wiki/Arie_Luyendyk" title="Arie Luyendyk">Arie Luyendyk</a> had to revert to his original primary car, which was now the back-up, and a brand-new engine that had heating issues after a few practice laps. With 33 minutes left in the day, Luyendyk finally started his qualifying attempt. Despite averaging 232.407 mph over his first two laps, which he later blamed on the use of an incorrect gear, he got to set new all-time track records, with a best lap of 234.742 mph, and a four-lap average of 233.390 mph.<sup id="cite_ref-DTR_5-11-96_29-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-DTR_5-11-96-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> With no other contenders in line, it appeared Luyendyk had secured his second Indy 500 pole.

The team had withdrawn their already-qualified #2 car, and Brayton was preparing to re-qualify in a back-up car, on which Brayton had only turned 13 laps that morning, although at competitive speeds. That chassis was the same one Luyendyk had used to qualify in second place at Indianapolis the previous year, and <a href="/wiki/Tony_Stewart" title="Tony Stewart">Tony Stewart</a> had undertaken his rookie test on it.<sup id="cite_ref-DTR_5-11-96_29-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-DTR_5-11-96-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> With this gamble, Menard forfeited one of their "locked-in" spots, but Brayton was eligible to run for the pole again. He took to the track at 5:42 p.m., and averaged 233.718 mph over a consistent 4-lap run that was fast enough to take the pole position, setting another four-lap track record.

Six seconds behind, rookie <a href="/wiki/Richie_Hearn" title="Richie Hearn">Richie Hearn</a> finished third, having passed Zampedri just before the caution. It was the first Indy car podium finish for all three drivers, accounting for six top-10 finishes between all of them before this race; Lazier and Jones had never finished higher than seventh. </p><p>As the leaders crossed the finish line, a serious crash occurred in Turn 4. Fifth-placed <a href="/wiki/Roberto_Guerrero" title="Roberto Guerrero">Roberto Guerrero</a>, who had lost a lap after pitting with 10 to go, was defending his position from <a href="/wiki/Eliseo_Salazar" title="Eliseo Salazar">Eliseo Salazar</a>, but he was not aware that he had a lap over Salazar because of his two-way radio not working. Running hard on the final lap, he spun in turn 4 and slid in front of Salazar and <a href="/wiki/Alessandro_Zampedri" title="Alessandro Zampedri">Alessandro Zampedri</a>, who was between them after falling behind a group of lapped cars. Zampedri's car was pushed up, and flew up into the <a href="/wiki/Catch_fence" class="mw-redirect" title="Catch fence">catch fence</a> nose first. Salazar slid underneath Zampedri's car, and wrecked into the outside wall. Guerrero slid down the track, and came to rest in the pit area. Zampedri suffered serious injuries to his feet and nearly lost his left foot, requiring the amputation of three toes, but was able to make a remarkable comeback a year later.<sup id="cite_ref-51" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-51"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>51<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Due to the high attrition, and as the nearest contenders (<a href="/wiki/Danny_Ongais" title="Danny Ongais">Danny Ongais</a>, <a href="/wiki/Hideshi_Matsuda" title="Hideshi Matsuda">Hideshi Matsuda</a> and <a href="/wiki/Robbie_Buhl" title="Robbie Buhl">Robbie Buhl</a>) were 3 laps down to them, all three drivers involved in the crash retained their positions. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Post-race">Post-race</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1996_Indianapolis_500&action=edit&section=39" title="Edit section: Post-race"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>This victory was the first for <a href="/wiki/Buddy_Lazier" title="Buddy Lazier">Buddy Lazier</a> in championship-level <a href="/wiki/American_open-wheel_car_racing" title="American open-wheel car racing">Indy car</a> competition. Lazier had won races, and a championship, in the <a href="/wiki/American_Indycar_Series" title="American Indycar Series">American Indycar Series</a>, a minor league series that employed older <a href="/wiki/Championship_Auto_Racing_Teams" title="Championship Auto Racing Teams">CART</a> machinery, but his previous best result in CART competition had been a 7th place at the <a href="/wiki/Firestone_Indy_400" class="mw-redirect" title="Firestone Indy 400">Michigan 500</a> in 1992. In fact, he had never seen the checkered flag in his three previous Indy 500 runnings, and he had failed to qualify for the race four times. Lazier became the first American driver to score his first Indy car win at the Indy 500 since <a href="/wiki/Troy_Ruttman" title="Troy Ruttman">Troy Ruttman</a> in 1952, and the first overall since <a href="/wiki/Arie_Luyendyk" title="Arie Luyendyk">Arie Luyendyk</a> (1990).

Had the usual tie-breaker rules been in place, Calkins would have been declared champion because of his win at <a href="/wiki/Walt_Disney_World_Speedway" title="Walt Disney World Speedway">Walt Disney World Speedway</a>. Additionally, he went on to score the most points among IRL drivers in the calendar year 1996, with races at New Hampshire and Las Vegas being held later in the year to start the 1996-97 season. </p><p>Ford scored its 8th Indy 500 win as an engine manufacturer, on which would become its final year in the race as of 2024. The company provided its engines to the IRL for the five 1996 races, but generally sided with CART during the open-wheel racing split. The company did consult with the IRL during planning stages for the 1997 normally aspirated engine formula, but ultimately elected not to build engines to those specs. Ford-Cosworth continued to focus on CART and Champ Car, being the lone engine supplier during the last years of the series, and ended its American open-wheel involvement after the 2008 unification. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Box_score">Box score</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1996_Indianapolis_500&action=edit&section=40" title="Edit section: Box score"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <table class="wikitable"> <tbody><tr> <th><abbr title="Position">Pos</abbr> </th> <th><abbr title="Car Number">No.</abbr> </th> <th>Driver </th> <th>Team </th> <th>Chassis </th> <th>Engine </th> <th>Tire </th> <th>Laps </th> <th>Time/Retired </th> <th>Pit<br />Stops </th> <th>Grid </th> <th><abbr title="Points">Pts.</abbr> </th></tr> <tr> <th>1 </th> <td align="center">91 </td> <td><span class="flagicon"><span class="mw-image-border" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States"><img alt="United States" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/a4/Flag_of_the_United_States.svg/23px-Flag_of_the_United_States.svg.png" decoding="async" width="23" height="12" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/a4/Flag_of_the_United_States.svg/35px-Flag_of_the_United_States.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/a4/Flag_of_the_United_States.svg/46px-Flag_of_the_United_States.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="1235" data-file-height="650" /></a></span></span> <a href="/wiki/Buddy_Lazier" title="Buddy Lazier">Buddy Lazier</a> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Hemelgarn_Racing" title="Hemelgarn Racing">Hemelgarn Racing</a> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Reynard_Motorsport" title="Reynard Motorsport">Reynard</a> <a href="/wiki/Reynard_95I" title="Reynard 95I">95I</a> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Ford-Cosworth_Indy_V8_engine" title="Ford-Cosworth Indy V8 engine">Ford Cosworth XB</a> </td> <td><b><a href="/wiki/Firestone_Tire_and_Rubber_Company" title="Firestone Tire and Rubber Company"><span style="padding:1px 4px;
