Meyer Shank Racing driver Felix Rosenqvist won the 110th running of the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday afternoon, edging Team Penske’s David Malukas by 0.0233 seconds. The finish broke the previous benchmark for the tightest margin in the 110-year history of the 500-mile event.
The race ended with a one-lap sprint following a series of late caution flags. Rosenqvist made his winning move on the outside down the front stretch during the final green-flag lap to secure the victory. The event saw constant shuffling at the front of the pack, a race that also featured an all-time record 70 lead changes.
IndyCar officials halted the race with a red flag with eight laps remaining after rookie Caio Collet suffered a fiery crash. A subsequent caution involving Mick Schumacher with four laps left set up the final shootout, an incident that required a lengthy cleanup and restart sequence.
The victory places Rosenqvist alongside Kenny Brack and Marcus Ericsson as the third Swedish driver to win the Borg-Warner Trophy. Scott McLaughlin finished the afternoon in third place, while Pato O’Ward surged late to finish fourth. For Malukas, the photo finish resulted in his second consecutive runner-up finish at the Brickyard.
