Indy 500 2026

110th running.

350,000 fans there!

First crash, 19th lap, woman driver involved, (Only one in the event).

Not her fault ?, the car in front of her spun out and she was too late dodging, couldn't miss him. (Probably checking her makeup in the mirror ).

(A Sexist Would Say)

One of the most exciting finishes I've ever seen there.

Watched first 50 or so laps, then listened, then re-watched final few and finish.
EXCITING to say the least.
Figured weather would be a factor somehow.
Kind of surprised the whole thing went down after watching radar earlier in the day.

2026 Indy 500 — Record 70 Lead Changes and Closest Finish in History​

The 110th Indianapolis 500 on May 24, 2026, produced one of the most dramatic and statistically historic races in the event’s 110-year history. Felix Rosenqvist of Meyer Shank Racing won in the closest finish ever recorded — by just 0.0233 seconds over David Malukas Yahoo Sports+1. That margin is less than one-tenth of a second and less than half a car length, making it the narrowest Indy 500 victory in history FOX Sports.

Lead Changes Record​

The race set a new all-time record for lead changes with 70, surpassing the previous record of 68 from the 2013 race Yahoo Sports+2. This high number reflects the chaotic, multi-car battle in the closing laps, with multiple drivers taking the lead in the final 25 miles.
