Normally Indy car engines are rebuilt after every race, so this equates to about every 500 miles. The reason being these engines run at a ridiculous speed, sometimes in excess of 19,000 rpm as opposed to a normal car which run at about 7-8,000 rpm. That being said, different race conditions also have bearing.
