The Indianapolis 500 purse record was shattered after a chaotic and red flagged 106th Running of the Indianapolis 500 with race-winner Marcus Ericsson taking home $3.1 million from a total purse of $16,000,200. The Chip Ganassi Racing Swedish driver’s prize in the No. 8 Huski (sic) Chocolate Chip Ganassi Racing Honda is also the largest winner’s payout ever for what’s claimed to be the world’s largest single-day sporting event. Ericsson has competed in 3 Indy 500s, with a best finish of 11th in 2021.
