Overview
- Felix Rosenqvist claimed the 110th Indianapolis 500 by 0.0233 seconds after a one‑lap shootout, the smallest margin in the race’s history.
- A Turn 2 crash by Caio Collet on lap 192 produced a red flag that erased fuel strategies and produced a green‑white‑checkered restart that decided the race.
- Rosenqvist started the final lap third, ran the high groove around the oval, drafted David Malukas and crossed the Yard of Bricks just ahead to record his first Indy 500 and first oval win for Meyer Shank Racing.
- David Malukas finished second and called the loss heartbreaking, while Scott McLaughlin, Pato O’Ward and Marcus Armstrong completed a tightly packed top five separated by only 0.155 seconds.
- Alex Palou kept the early season points lead after a five‑point technical penalty and the result tightens championship math, prize payouts and early betting markets as the series moves on to Detroit.
