On the final lap of the 2023 race, defending Indy 500 winner Marcus Ericsson was overtaken by Josef Newgarden. The former Formula One driver finished second.
Newgarden was overjoyed. On the home straight, he rushed out of his car and leapt over a breach in the fence to celebrate with his followers. The 32-year-old is a two-time IndyCar champion who won his maiden Indy 500 on Sunday.
“I’ve always wanted to go into the crowd here in Indianapolis,” Newgarden told NBC Sports. This was a long-held ambition of mine.”
Ericsson, on the other hand, appeared to be annoyed. He was critical of the race’s one-lap green flag conclusion. He described it as “unfair and dangerous.”
Several red flags and restarts occurred during the race.
Final finishing order: Josef Newgarden, Marcus Ericsson, Santino Ferrucci, Alex Palou, Alexander Rossi, Scott Dixon, Takuma Sato, Conor Daly, Colton Herta, Rinus VeeKay, Ryan Hunter-Reay, Callumm Illott, Devlin DeFrancesco, Scott McLaughlin, Helio Castroneves, Tony Kanaan, Marco Andretti, Jack Harvey, Christian Lundgaard, Ed Carpenter, Benjamin Pedersen, Graham Rahal, Will Power, Pato O’Ward, Simon Pagenaud, Agustin Canapino, Felix Rosenqvist, Kyle Kirkwood, David Malukas, Romain Grosjean, Sting Ray Robb, R.C.
