The only other things to keep the 500 Mile race from running in May was World Wars 1 and 2. It's now delayed until late August. I think 2020 is going to end up being forever known as "The Lost Season" in racing history.
110 years of Indy 500 and this

Month Of May Schedule Updates Announced
In a joint statement between INDYCAR and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the Indianapolis 500 Presented by Gainbridge has been rescheduled for Sunday, Aug. 23 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 104th edition of "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing" will air live on NBC. The GMR Grand Prix will transition to Saturday, July 4 on the IMS road course as part of a historic double-header featuring the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and NASCAR. This first-of-its-kind racing event also will be televised by NBC on Independence Day.
You know, seeing the big iron on the Indy road course will be pretty interesting! Hope we're all around to see it.
Oh phoo, the Cup cars will do the oval on Sunday, Indy & Xfinity on the road course Saturday.
They should just put them all out for one big race - mixing open & closed wheel works OK in club racing, right?
Remember the IRL-CART debacle? Tony George wanted HIS Indy 500 to be the grand season ender, so the '95 champ wasn't determined until May of '96...ridiculous.Originally Posted by Bardahl77
All things considered right now, I'll take a delay over a cancellation.

I was kinda looking forward to seeing 43 Cup cars heading into the chicane on lap one.

I wish I understood everything I know.
Doing it out of an abundance of caution. given everything else going on it would have been very very unpopular with the rest of the sporting world and the world in general to hold things as scheduled
Better to reschedule than run with nobody packed into the grandstands elbow to elbow.
