I Have already competed in a live broadcast indy 500 and what people need to remember is that the race cannot be won early, there will be lots of yellow flags which brings all the cars back together again, this could be a 3 hour race and the winner is normally the racer who keeps it clean manges his pit stops well, as most experienced oval races do not push at indy until the last 50 laps. 200 laps will probally have 6-7 pit stops, so getting in and out of the pits need practicing, as you may be having a great race and then lose it coming into the pits to fast from turn 3, catch the grass spins back onto the track and wipes out a heap load of cars making you mister popular, its a great race to be part of, and not just turning left. getting into drafts with a group helps pull gaps from the people behind, and also catching people in front, so working together helps too, but driving at 235 mph 2 feet behind a car keeps you focused. making adjustments to your car as your fuel drops may help the feel of your car(normally the weight jacker), but putting in laps in practice will get you the feel of your car, Tyres do wear if your setup is not quite right so beware after 20-25 laps you may start to drift into the walls if not careful, especially turn 1. if you come into this race cold you probably wont last long and also ruin others race, i love road racing but ovals are great fun, and not as easy as people think, Have fun everyone its a great race.
