Wow that was awesome

 

[SneakySwede]

Newgarden drove the hell out of that car

What a race this was. What a battle on that last lap. I love racing

 

[gnomesayin]

Well, it will be hard to stop them from throwing a red flag in turn 2 of lap 200 and going green in turn 3 after they got that finish.

 

[HoneyBadger]

If I was Chip, I would’ve had a car stall out coming to green.

 

[FLRacingFan]

He finally did it! Dude had been so snakebitten here. Awesome.

 

[Kiante]

JoNew pulled that off. That was crazy!

 

[donthaveanickname]

Crazy to think this is Josef's first. Great job, great pass on Marcus.
And I need to take a deep breath.

 

[Hotrod]

............and thats how its done!!!!!!!!! Penske power hammered down !!!!!

and in the stands Newgarden goes !!!! Crazy !!!!

 

[donthaveanickname]

Love to see him celebrate with the fans, this is part of why IndyCar is do awesome .

 

[FLRacingFan]

I thought Ericsson would get a run back to the S/F line but Josef utilized “the Dragon” back at him.

Man what is wrong with you? Relax and just enjoy life

Went all the way into the pit wall.

They need a do not cross while racing painted line before pit road. Sooner or later they going hook up while snaking and blocking the draft just before the entrance to pit road and take the carnage to the pit crews.

Admittedly this is pretty much the one Indy race I watch each year but it’s very fun. Great racing!

 

[DewChaser988]

That my friends was what we call an instant classic, and congrats to Newgarden for finally getting his Indy 500 win, man this must have been what it felt like when Dale Earnhardt won his Daytona 500

 

[SneakySwede]

Thats a good looking livery on that 2 car. Hope they run that a lot more

 

[JW1]

Yeah baby!!

 

[Tumbleweed]

Way to go Josef!!!

 

[Speedbowl14]

The emotion of winning the 500 is the most wholesome in all of sports. Period.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Just so cool. I love this race, pure adrenaline the last few laps

 

[nickp]

what a wild end

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Josef is a generational driver. This win with his two championships solidifies that

 

[FLRacingFan]

Chip needs to step up and pay Marcus. He’s earned it.

I understand Marcus irritation with the restart as well.

Just one of those things, but I agree. He deserves it.

 

[Tumbleweed]

What a great race. How soon can we start the net Indy 500? I'm ready.

 

[FLRacingFan]

I understand Marcus irritation with the restart as well.

Just one of those things, but I agree. He deserves it.

Yep, totally get it, I think most people believe it was over when that final wreck happened.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Just one of those things, but I agree. He deserves it.

He got robbed.

Happy for Newgarden. But do the ends justify the means?

 

[donthaveanickname]

Santino did a great job today, he was awesome throughout the month of May. I'm sure he's a future Indy 500 winner.

 

[SneakySwede]

this is the greatest race in the world. Listening to the joy and the frustration from all its participants just lets you know how much it means to them

 

[Blaze]

I can’t fault Marcus for being upset. I probably be upset as well. But also glad we got a finish. Just wish it was more than a 1 lap shootout

 

[donthaveanickname]

Solid 7th place finish for Sato, he said before the race it could be his last one, let's hope it wasn't.

 

[Blaze]

Wonder how long til s conspiracy starts they only restarted for a Penske win and would’ve finished under yellow for one of their drivers, since he owns the series.

 

[JW1]

Ha!! Rossi lost again!! I put a jinx on him ever since he almost ran me over with his scooter two years ago in St. Petersburg. That'll teach him not to autograph my program.

 

[Kiante]

Wait.

Weren't there new rules enforced this year to not cross over the pit lane line to block?

 

[JBone88]

It is pretty ironic that we had 3 red flags and a restart from the pits and a Penske car won lol

 

[FLRacingFan]

Wait.

I don’t know if they made it a rule yet, but they probably should. They’re definitely bordering on something dangerous with how low they’re sweeping now.

Funny enough, me and my dad earlier was talking about how that’s almost a conflict of interest. Imagine the France family owning a team in NASCAR.

 

[aunty dive]

Roger Penske is a sportsman.

A foreign concept for many.

Jim does own an IMSA team, a series which he owns via NASCAR.
