Despite rain delays and race-halting crashes from competitors, Rosenqvist ended the Indy500 race with a photo finish win against David Malukas, narrowly beating him by 0.0233 seconds after passing him in the final second of the 110th running of the Indy 500 on Sunday, May 24.
“Massive thanks to the team,” said the Swedish driver, who is on the Meyer Shank Racing team, after the race. “We were the best car today. I felt like we were in all situations.”
Cars lapped the 2.5-mile oval track (with its famous brick finish line, ceremonially kissed by the victors). Many racing fans believe the track to be one of the most iconic, and with it, some of the indelible traditions from the race (run since 1911), which include a celebratory milk chug while wearing the Victory Lane Wreath.
Rosenqvist took homethe sterling silver Borg Warner trophy, which features sculpted likenesses of past winners. He also wins an undetermined amount of prize money. Last year’s record-breaking purse was over $20 million, taken home by Spanish driver Alex Palou, who was favored to win this year.
“It’s just unreal,” Rosenqvist said of his victory.
