The 102nd Indianapolis 500 is 89 days away! This is the 14th day of the 102 Stats in 102 Days Until the 102nd Indy 500.

Each day from now until the Saturday before the Indianapolis 500, we’ll post a list of stats related to the race. Some of well-known statistics, while others are a little more in-depth. You can view the current list of 102-stat blogs by clicking here.

Today’s list includes the drivers with the most career IndyCar victories without winning the Indianapolis 500. Each of the top 11 drivers on the all-time wins list without winning the Greatest Spectacle in Racing have won at least 10 races. To be fair, two of those drivers never competed in the Indianapolis 500, contesting the fulltime CART and Champ Car World Series circuits during the open-wheel split between 1996 and 2007.

Three drivers, however, look to remove themselves from the list as they are scheduled to compete fulltime in IndyCar Series competition in 2018.

- Ted Horn finished second, third or fourth in nine consecutive Indy 500s between 1936 and 1948 (race canceled from 1942-1945 for World War II), and completed all but one lap during that streak. It was part of the best 10-year streak of finishes in Indianapolis 500 history (he was 16th in 1935).
