Indianapolis 500 Legends is a racing game recounting the history of the Indianapolis 500. Players take on the roles of various famous racers between 1961 and 1971, completing tasks such as overtaking a specified number of cars or qualifying with a good enough time. Some missions will change the course of history, such as guiding Parnelli Jones to victory in 1967 when historically, in the 197th lap, a faulty bearing ground his car to a halt. The option will also be given to race the full 200 laps.[3]

Nintendo DS glitches
The following are glitches in the Nintendo DS version of the game.
- In mission mode in the epic mission the car starts out loose and the player must drive into the pits (while running in a certain position or higher), making it harder for the player to regain positions.
- The car can sometimes drive into the pit wall on the main straightaway and get stuck.
