Today is the biggest day in the world of motor sports with three major events happening around the world — two of which are part of the Triple Crown of Motorsport.
The day starts with Formula 1’s Monaco Grand Prix on the picturesque Circuit de Monaco at 9:10 a.m. ET (ESPN). Not long after that is the 103rd Indianapolis 500, and the green flag is set to fly around 12:45 p.m. ET at Indianapolis Motor Speedway (NBC). And if you’re not tired of racing by the time after those two iconic events, NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. ET (FOX).

Georgetown, TX is 7th fastest-growing city in the U.S., Census Bureau says
Georgetown's growth rate was 5.2 percent in 2017 and 2018. The population was 47,400 in the 2010 census. According to today's estimate, the city added 26,780 residents with a growth rate of 56.5 percent from 2010 to 2018.
“I promise, we’re not trying to be the fastest-growing city in the U.S.,” Mayor Dale Ross said. “Frankly, people choose Georgetown because we are a safe city with a high-quality of life, great parks, an award-winning library, a low tax rate and the Most Beautiful Town Square in Texas. We recognize what a great place Georgetown is, and others recognize it, too.”
According to the Texas Demographic Center, the Austin region is expected to more than double in size by the year 2050, growing from 2 million to 4.5 million population.A

Today is Sunday, May 26, the 146th day of 2019. There are 219 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On May 26, 1972, President Richard M. Nixon and Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev signed the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty in Moscow. (The U.S. withdrew from the treaty in 2002.)
On this date:
In 1647, Alse (Alice) Young was hanged in Hartford, Connecticut, in the first recorded execution of a "witch" in the American colonies.
In 1865, Confederate forces west of the Mississippi surrendered in New Orleans.
In 1868, the impeachment trial of President Andrew Johnson ended with his acquittal on the remaining charges.
In 1897, the Gothic horror novel "Dracula" by Bram Stoker was first published in London.
In 1938, the House Un-American Activities Committee was established by Congress.
In 1940, Operation Dynamo, the evacuation of some 338,000 Allied troops from Dunkirk, France, began during World War II.
In 1954, explosions rocked the aircraft carrier USS Bennington off Rhode Island, killing 103 sailors. (The initial blast was blamed on leaking catapult fluid ignited by the flames of a jet.)
In 1969, the Apollo 10 astronauts returned to Earth after a successful eight-day dress rehearsal for the first manned moon landing.
In 1978, Resorts Casino Hotel, the first legal U.S. casino outside Nevada, opened in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
In 1981, 14 people were killed when a Marine jet crashed onto the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz off Florida.
In 1998, the U.S. Supreme Court made it far more difficult for police to be sued by people hurt during high-speed chases. The Supreme Court also ruled that Ellis Island, historic gateway for millions of immigrants, was mainly in New Jersey, not New York.
In 2005, President George W. Bush received Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas at the White House; Bush called Abbas a courageous democratic reformer and bolstered his standing at home with $50 million in assistance.

Ten years ago: President Barack Obama nominated federal appeals judge Sonia Sotomayor to the U.S. Supreme Court. California's Supreme Court upheld the Proposition 8 gay marriage ban but said the 18,000 same-sex weddings that had taken place before the prohibition passed were still valid.
Five years ago: Pope Francis honored Jews killed in the Holocaust and in terrorist attacks during a visit to the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem as he wrapped up his Mideast pilgrimage. Egypt began holding a three-day presidential election (former military chief Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi emerged the landslide winner).
One year ago: Joshua Holt, who traveled to Venezuela from Utah in 2016 to marry a Spanish-speaking Mormon woman, but was jailed and labeled as the CIA's top spy in Latin America, was set free by Venezuela's anti-American government and returned to the United States with his wife. The leaders of North and South Korea met for the second time in a month in a surprise summit at a border village to discuss Kim Jong Un's potential meeting with President Donald Trump.
