No. 2 is the third-best starting position in history with 11 drivers using the middle of the front row to catapult into the racing history books. Two drivers have risen from that far in the field – Ray Harroun in 1911 and Louis Meyer in 1936. The lowest starting position to produce a winner is 28th. He’s had fast cars in each of the last two “500’s.” The last to do so was Simon Pagenaud in 2019. Herta wiggled in the No. 26 Gainbridge Honda and made right rear contact with the SAFER Barrier at the exit of the turn. The car overturned and slid through the short chute between Turns 1 and 2, making secondary contact with the SAFER Barrier in Turn 2 with the nose of the car.

When Grosjean finally has a moment, it’s nearly 7 p.m. at the end of a nonstop day. The pole position has produced more winners than any other grid spot in the race's 105 previous runnings, with 21 total winners. And what's interesting is those people who have done that, their confidence is only going up. “And at one point, they're going to hit their limit. Crew members and personnel from assorted teams stop him for a chat. Fans flock to him.

Marcus Ericsson won the Indy 500 in a two-lap shootout over Pato O'Ward, ending a 10-year winless drought at the track for Chip Ganassi Racing.

It was actually pretty good in 1 and 2, 3 and 4 was a bit more tricky, but 1 and 2, I was pretty good. But big thanks to the safety team, the safety barrier as well, but sorry for the team as well. Turn 2 was a major trouble spot as the site of crashes by Johnson, VeeKay, Ilott and Romain Grosjean, who found the wall while exiting the corner on Lap 106. “First of all, I have to say sorry to all the fans and the team and everyone who has worked hard,” VeeKay, 21, told NBC Sports’ Marty Snider. “We put the car on the front row. After skidding through the grass, McLaughlin had a head-on hit in the next corner but was able to walk from the car. The No. 3 Dallara-Chevrolet snapped loose on the exit of Turn 3 and made contact with the right front. The caution flew for the first time on Lap 39 for Rinus VeeKay, who lost control of his No. 21 Dallara-Chevrolet exiting Turn 2 while running second. The six-time IndyCar Series champion was eliminated from contention after serving a drive-through penalty for going too fast in the pit lane on entry. “Yeah, I just turned into Turn 2, the car gets loose. But I knew the car was amazing. So I knew the car was fast enough. But I knew it was probably going to be one.

It came down to two laps, and Marcus Ericsson remained on top to win "the Greatest Spectacle in Racing," Sunday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The Spaniard was forced to continue down pit road without stopping and return to the track, but with his fuel running out, Palou had to make an emergency stop with pit road still closed. VeeKay, who started on the front row next to the Ganassi pair, brought out the first caution on lap 39. Dixon, the six-time IndyCar Series champion started on the pole for the second consecutive 500 and the fifth time in his career. "It was hard to remain focused," Ericsson said after the race. The 31-year-old technically won under caution when Sage Karam crashed on the backstretch and brought out the yellow flag as the leaders entered turn 3. He and Kenny Bräck are the only drivers from Sweden to win the race.

With his fist up in the air, IndyCar driver Marcus Ericsson crossed the finish line and won his first-ever Indianapolis 500 race.

Chip Ganassi Racing's Marcus Ericsson won the 106th running of the Indianapolis 500 after a red flag for Jimmie Johnson's late crash.

Dixon pitted for the final time on Lap 175, almost losing it under brakes at pit-in – and he pinged for speeding as a result. O’Ward pitted later than all of them and cycled his way to the front, while Kanaan suffered a slow stop and lost ground to the leaders, losing a spot to Ericsson also. Ericsson jumped clear with aggressive weaving, O’Ward attacked around the outside of Turn 1 but Ericsson held him off. Ericsson then battled past O’Ward, who had to back out of the gas, for third. Dixon and Conor Daly (ECR) had just made their stops but Palou was caught out by a closed pitlane and he had to drive straight through. The second round of pitstops had just begun when Callum Ilott crashed his Juncos Hollinger car at Turn 2.

Marcus Ericsson had to leave Formula One to become a global superstar and achieved the goal Sunday when the Swedish driver won the Indianapolis 500.

Dixon grabbed the lead from O’Ward at the restart, and the two began to trade places - with Dixon was clearly keen on staying out front ahead of the final pit phase. But Dixon was soon back in front – picking up the mantle of the all-time Indy 500 lap leader from the late Al Unser Sr – with O’Ward and Daly content to run in his slipstream, as Rosenqvist demoted Ferrucci to fifth. Dixon had been in the pound seats for the majority of the race after his impressive pole, leading the 33 cars to Turn 1 ahead of team-mate Alex Palou and Ed Carpenter Racing's Rinus VeeKay. Palou grabbed the lead at Turn 3 on the opening lap and VeeKay further demoted Dixon at Turn 1 on lap 2. Daly was swamped on the Lap 113 restart, as O’Ward passed both Daly and Dixon to grab the lead, with Ferrucci sweeping up to fourth ahead of Rosenqvist, Kanaan, Ericsson and Ed Carpenter. On the restart, Ericsson weaved aggressively to break the tow to O'Ward - but at the start of the final lap O'Ward attempted to clear Ericsson around the outside. This was after Scott Dixon, who had led the majority of laps in the race, was caught speeding in the pitlane on his final stop and thus had to serve a drive-through penalty.

Marcus Ericsson had to leave Formula One to make his name – a goal achieved on Sunday when the Swedish driver won the Indianapolis 500.

The stoppage gave Pato O’Ward and the rest of the challengers almost 12 minutes to strategize how to catch Ericsson for the win. It is the fifth Indy 500 victory for team owner Chip Ganassi, who caught a ride to the victory podium on the side of Ericsson’s car. IndyCar is among the purest forms of motorsports and rarely throws artificial cautions or issues stoppages that might change the outcome.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Scott Dixon answered a few questions and started to trudge down pit road when he realized he forgot something: His wife.

Scott Dixon has shouldered the blame for the pit speeding incident that cost him a shot at a second Indy 500 win.

“I had to work a lot today, it was super-hard to come back from there. “I had lots of fun in this race, there was just one point where my heart broke in pieces,” said Palou, who led 47 laps. The reigning IndyCar champion was just about to enter the pits when the red light came on for Callum Ilott’s crash at Turn 2, and Palou missed the pit commit line by one second.

"You have to be realistic when you have multiple cars," Ganassi added.

I just messed up." "It's just heartbreaking, to be honest," Dixon said afterward. What the (expletive)?"

Ganassi had not won the 500 in 10 years and sent five legitimate contenders to Indy to end the drought. The stoppage gave Pato O’Ward and the rest of the challengers almost 12 minutes on pit road to strategize how to catch Ericsson for the win. Ericsson is the second Swede to win the Indy 500 in 106 runnings, joining 1999 winner Kenny Brack.

With a few laps to go, Marcus Ericsson seemed to have the race well in hand. But a crash and a restart made him work a little harder for the victory.

Formula 1 held its storied Monaco Grand Prix earlier in the day. The crowd, which IndyCar officials said approached 325,000 people, marked a return to normalcy after two years of Covid disruptions. With a few laps to go, Marcus Ericsson seemed to have the race well in hand. His win was the first Indianapolis 500 victory for the Chip Ganassi Racing team in 10 years. Two of Ericsson’s Ganassi teammates dominated for much of the race. A poorly timed pit stop by Palou — moments after a caution flag closed pit road — sent him to the back of the field and essentially ended his chance at victory.

Johnson was the fourth driver to fall victim to Turn 2 on Sunday and his debut in the sport came to a screeching halt. Jonson was on Turn 2 when he lost control, spun out and hit the wall. Jimmie Johnson, the NASCAR legend and IndyCar rookie, crashed with six laps to go in the Indy 500 on Sunday.

It was a frustrating end to a historic month for Dixon. He earned his fifth career Indy 500 pole last weekend, putting him in sole possession of second on the all-time poles list. You only need to lead one lap here, and that’s the last one.” One day, when Dixon’s legendary career is finished, he will certainly cherish his place in Indianapolis 500 history and his name alongside those of Unser, A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti, Rick Mears and many more. In 2020, he led 111 laps but finished second as a late-race caution ended the race under yellow and crowned Takuma Sato the winner. “I mean, he came down pit lane and was speeding,” Ganassi said. Though the Kiwi didn’t lead Lap 1 – his teammate Alex Palou did – Dixon took the lead for the first time on Lap 8. Dixon controlled the next 100 laps and led 95 of the 200 total laps, a race-high mark. “I feel extremely bad for him,” said Dixon’s Chip Ganassi Racing teammate Kanaan. “He's a dear friend of mine. Upon entering pit lane, he locked the rear brakes, and then the front brakes. From there, the race was Dixon’s to lose. The long walk down pit lane with his wife, Emma, included many hugs and apologies from the drivers he was trying to beat just minutes earlier. His only other “500” win came in 2008.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Marcus Ericsson, once a Formula One backmarker, is now an IndyCar frontrunner. And an Indianapolis 500 champion.

Ganassi had not won the 500 in 10 years and sent five legitimate contenders to Indy to end the drought. The New Zealander led 95 of the 200 laps, and his Honda was easily the fastest in the field — so fast that Dixon didn't slow down enough on his final pit stop. It is the fifth Indy 500 win for team owner Chip Ganassi, who caught a ride to the podium on the side of Ericsson's car. He signed a contract extension with Arrow McLaren SP on Friday and desperately wanted the win to celebrate his status as McLaren's star. “You're going to have things happen in these 500-mile races and they're not always going to fall your way. But O'Ward finished second, falling just short as he tried to give Mexico a banner celebration on the biggest day in motorsports; Sergio Perez opened Sunday with a win in the Monaco Grand Prix. “When that caution came out, I thought it was going to be another restart. Karam was transported to a hospital for evaluation of muscular soreness. IndyCar is among the purest forms of motorsports and rarely throws artificial cautions or issues stoppages that might change the outcome. You don’t get a lot of credit running in the back. “Moved here, put my whole life into trying to become an IndyCar and mainly Indianapolis 500 champion. I did five years in Formula One, almost a hundred grand prixs, running for small teams, towards the back most of it.

Scott Dixon has shouldered the blame for the pit speeding incident that cost him a shot at a second Indy 500 win.

“I had lots of fun in this race, there was just one point where my heart broke in pieces,” said Palou, who still led 47 laps on the day due to his off-sequence strategy. The reigning IndyCar champion was just about to enter the pits when the red light in pitlane came on for Callum Ilott’s crash at Turn 2. Dixon started the day third on the list and passed Ralph dePalma’s mark of 612 just before half distance.

Scott Dixon says the pitlane speeding penalty he earned that removed him from contention for a second Indy 500 victory was "heartbreaking".

“I just messed up.” “I kind of came into the pit and locked the rears, and then kind of locked all four and I knew it was going to be close, I think it was like 1mph over or something.” Scott Dixon says the penalty for speeding in the pitlane that removed him from contention for victory in the Indianapolis 500 was “heartbreaking” and that he “just messed up”.

Scott Dixon led a race-high 95 laps, but he made a critical mistake by speeding in the pits during another disappointing finish in the Indy 500.

(And also no surprise that it comes in a convo with the always upbeat @ConorDaly22, who might be inviting Dixon to his late-night EDM rave in downtown Indy later.) https://t.co/bGaE7kterK He also had tears in his eyes when he hugged the driver after the race. We called a great race today and he drove a great race today and that is what we are going to look at going forward.” I came into the pits and had to lock the rears. The Indianapolis 500 is like the girlfriend in a toxic relationship a man can’t get out of his mind, no matter how badly she treats him. “As for Scott, we called a great race, he drove a great race and we do things together as a team,” Hull said. At the end of the day, we try again next year. When Spencer Pigot pounded the end of the pit road attenuator with five laps to go, IndyCar Race Control decided to let the race finish under yellow. After starting on the pole and leading 95 of 200 laps, Dixon came onto pit lane as the leader, to make his final pit stop that would take him to an apparent second Indy 500 victory. Once Johnson’s damaged car had been removed from the track, that set up essentially a “green-white-checkered” flag finish. He was stopped on the end of pit road directly ahead of Pato O’Ward’s Arrow McLaren SP Chevrolet. His wife, Emma, was distraught, telling NBC Sports that she was “gutted” by the call.
