Race #3 - Indianapolis 500
The Pep Boys Indy Racing League made their 3rd stop of 1999 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, in Speedway, Indiana, for the Indianapolis 500.
Robby Unser led the field to the green and would lead the first lap before 1997 Indianapolis race winner Jeff Ward took the lead and he quickly used his past experience at the track to pull away to a early year as the "Brickyard" once again proved to be a race of endurance as twelve cautions would fly during the event, while battling for position and the lead kept the sellout fans in attendance hooked and on the edge of their seats. Robby McGehee, who was making his debut in the race, surprised alot of people, as he dominated much of the day, leading 85 of the 200 laps, but late in the race he lost the lead to pole sitter Robby Unser with eleven laps to go who appeared on his way to his first career win.
In a group of four cars was the 1997 Indy Racing League Champion Kenny Brack, who had been involved in a earlier crash but his team was able to repair the damage, and with seven laps to go, Brack made his move and took the lead, and despite how much Unser tried, he was unable to get past Brack, who scored the biggest win of his career.
Other Noticeables:
Kenny Brack scored his 1st win of the year,
Brack led 2 times for 39 laps, including the final 7 laps,
It was the 5th win of his career in the Pep Boys Indy Racing League and his first since 1998 at Atlanta; 5 races ago,

Race #5 - Radisson 200
The Pep Boys Indy Racing League made their 5th stop of 1999 at the Pikes Peak International Raceway, in Fountain, Colorado, for the Radisson 200.
Greg Ray led the field to the green as for only the third time in series history drivers raced at the mile track, the 18,000 fans in attendance got their money's worth as battles for position and cautions would play a major factor in who would win. Grey Ray would dominate for most of the race, leading 80 of 200 laps, but during pit stops in the middle of the race, Ray was trapped a lap down and was unable to get back into contention. That opened the door for Kenny Brack to take over and led for awhile before second in points Jeff Ward took over. Ward appeared on his was to victory until Davey Hamilton caught him with thirty laps to go and when a caution came out with five laps to go when Ward was spun out, Hamilton had to hold off Sam Schmidt and Buddy Lazier for the final two laps to score his first career win.
Other Noticeables:
Davey Hamilton scored his 3rd win of the year,
Hamilton led 1 time for 30 laps, which were the final 30 laps,
