Ed Carpenter into the wall on turn 1 on the restart. He’s clearly not happy with Takuma Sato.

Sato and turn 1

[AnthonyD1993]

Newgarden is out.

 

[Populuxe]

Newgarden is out.

What an own goal.

 

[CommanderBond]

30 to go..... who's gonna take it

 

[Populuxe]

I’m rooting for Pato.

 

[IforceV8]

Fro

 

[Populuxe]

Rough accident for Collectt. Red flag with eight to go.

Edit: He exits on his own.

 

[IforceV8]

Palou and Malukas are now in play.

 

[Aesthethica]

Feels nice to have 3 drivers im rooting for all in contention here. Go David, Felix, and Pato!

This was about to be impeccable timing to finish before the start of Canadian GP but alas...

 

[Populuxe]

I’m also rooting for Sato to get his third win, but it looks like he doesn’t have the car, today. But he’s in 8th, so who knows?

Rosenqvist pips Malukas at the line and wins the 110th Indy 500.

 

[Populuxe]

That was some wildly dangerous blocking by Malukas, but Rosenqvist was able to get around him. 0.018 second difference, the closest in the history of the Indy 500. That was a good race.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

That was nuts! Side by side for the whole lap and then steal the win at the line.

 

[Blitz24]

That was some wildly dangerous blocking by Malukas, but Rosenqvist was able to get around him. 0.018 second difference, the closest in the history of the Indy 500. That was a good race.

An honor to Kyle Busch.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

That was one hell of a finish. Even people watching in this house who don't care about motorsport were mesmerized by what has now been confirmed as the closest finish in Indy 500 history.

 

[Populuxe]

And my YouTube TV subscription is canceled.

Edit: looks like the margin of victory has been revised to 0.0223 seconds.

 

[NotThePrez]

That was a fun race to watch for sure, action throughout and some excellent wheel-to-wheel racing on the whole. That was probably the most enjoyable Indy 500 I can recall.

Gutted for Malukas, as he ran an excellent race, but I can't hate Felix grabbing the win today, especially by such a tight margin.

 

[ZGBox]

I watched the race, and WOW it was intense!
Probably one of the more enjoyable ones I've seen this year for sure, but dang I feel for Malukas.
The post-race interview was honestly so heartbreaking to watch, but he did really well regardless so I hope he cheers up a bit

 

[Northstar]

That was a very good race, super pumped to see Felix get the win as I have been a fan since he came to IndyCar (even have one of those jersey shirts from his Ganassi days).

It just sucks that we immediately go from the biggest race of the year to a street course.

 

[toastet]

Wow, what a race

St. Petersburg 4
Phoenix 7
Arlington 3
Barber 2
Long Beach 2
Indy GP 5
Indy 500 9

 

[ScottPuss20]

I'm happy that I chose to watch the Indy 500 instead of the Coca Cola 600. I thought that things would end in shambles after the red flag, but thankfully it didn't - however it got awfully close when the yellow was brought out again for Mick Schumacher. Way to bring up the stress levels mate. Anyway witnessing an historic finish like that immediately puts my angst aside. Before the crash with 8 laps to go, I said that Rosenqvist may win the damn thing because of the strategy play. So yeah I was pretty much screaming for the entirety of the last lap as he ripped it around the outside. Great timing, great racing and great skill from Rosenqvist to steal that victory.

 

[DG_Silva]

Alex Palou failed post-race scrutineering with the front wing being slightly too low. He keeps finishing position but he and Chip Ganassi Racing lose 5 points, and a $10k fine (chicken feed, really) after being declared non-intentional.
