The last last-lap of wheel-to-wheel racing to take the checkered flag at the 110th Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge was the closest finish in the 110-year history at the Brickyard. However it is only one of the “500” heart-throbbing moments that inarguably supports the claim that the 500 is the “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” Felix Rosenqvist drove the high line against the concrete wall exiting Turn 4 on Lap 200 in the No. 60 SiriusXM Honda of Meyer Shank Racing w/Curb Agajanian and powered past the No. 12 Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet of David Malukas to triumph by .0233 of a second. The previous closest finish in “500” history came in 1992, when Al Unser Jr. held off a charging Scott Goodyear by .043 of a second.
“We just won the Indy 500! What an incredible month. I just want to say thank you to my team Meyer Shank Racing, and to Honda for giving me an incredible car. What a last lap, I can’t wait to re-watch it. It was the craziest racing ever, but it was fair—I think that’s what the fans wanted to see. And it was also the closest finish ever! It’s been an unbelievable month for me. I became a dad just 16 days ago, and now I’m an Indianapolis 500 winner. I feel like I’m still in a dream, so I’m still taking it all in. Thank you, everyone,” said Rosenqvist.
