Sweden's Marcus Ericsson got to drink the milk, victorious after an intense race Sunday afternoon.
Similar to VeeKay, England’s Callum Ilott crashed out of the Indy 500 during lap 70 of 200. It was a massive hit for the rookie driver. What started as a great race for Palou, ended up becoming quite painful for the Spanish driver due to the untimely caution.With 106 laps in, crushing disappointment followed Romain Grosjean as he posed the third crash-out of the day. The Swiss-French driver’s car shed layers as he also misjudged turn two, which stumped many of the drivers Sunday.
By the halfway point of the race, O’Ward, Dixon, Daly, and Santino Ferrucci were in contention for the lead, with Tony Kanaan and Felix Rosenqvist not far behind. New Zealand driver Scott McLaughlin’s race came to an end after lap 152, as a wicked wiggle at the apex of turn four brought the “Yellow Submarine” to its demise. The combination of a brutal angle and huge entry speed unfortunately ended McLaughlin’s time at the Indy 500.
There has never been a Mexican driver win the Indianapolis 500, so O’Ward’s performance was nail-biting, as he fled ahead of Dixon and Rosenqvist after 164 laps. Bad luck struck again for Dixon as he received a pit road speeding penalty at lap 176, pushing him out of contention in perhaps the most unfortunate moment of his storied career.
