The greatest spectacle in racing, the INDY 500, is part of what is known to be the loudest race weekend of the year and its 2022 outing as part of the current season of the NTT IndyCar Series is no exception.
The INDY 500 kicked off with the front row starter Rinus Veekay out of the race following a crash in turn 2. As the race resumed, Conor Daly surges back to the lead. Halfway through the race, Scott Dixon is in the lead while Conor Daly and Pato O'Ward's catching up. Moments later, rookie driver Callum Ilott's first INDY 500 outing ended in a crash while Romain Grosjean's out of the race as well. With 133 laps passed, Scott Dixon remains in the lead while Colton Herta threw in the towel due to mechanical failure as well as Scott McLaughlin following a crash. Following a pit lane speed violation, Scott Dixon was slapped with a penalty, costing his Indy 500 win, but it could be worse as Jimmie Johnson got involved in a horrifying crash that triggered a red flag as the race nears its end.
