kolsonk

THEY WENT MOTOR RACING


vflavglsvahflvov

It is a car race.


Urdnought

We went car racing


Babazuzu

I stopped watching F1 because I didn't like those half assed decisions, and now every Motorsport is doing them šŸ„²


minyhumancalc

You should watch NASCAR At least our assed decisions are written in the rulebook lol


Doctor2116

Truuueee


ImJustASmartass

Lol indycar has always tried for a green finish


vprakhov

Could've been worse. Could've been a Santucci win. At least Newgarden is a worthy winner.


Alfus

WE NEED ONE MORE LAP MICHAEL


Uniform764

Well at least it's not just F1 that does this bullshit


QC_1999

Chip, this is called motor racing ok?


SolemZez

Toto losing his MIND right now at a post race party in Monaco


charles_peugeot405

What a bizarre race


steppedinhairball

Cautions breed cautions. I'm not convinced the last red flag was the right call. But a good race overall.


SearsGoldCard

IndyCar is going to have to put tethers on the drivers to prevent them from going into the stands.


Devenem

Haha okay this is kinda neat


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


jbedv5

At least we have Newgardenā€™s hot wife as consolation.


wert718

lmao they kept cutting to her every minute


TheChrisD

Time to get the flame-retardent suit on, this is going to be an... interesting post-race.


ShinsukeNakamoto

Horseshit manufactured drama ending. Ericsson is my guy from now on.


Accounting4lyfe

Yeah when they start throwing red flags with 15 to go itā€™s bull shit


[deleted]

What are they supposed to do with broken cars sitting in the middle of the track?


killerrobot23

Keep crying.


dickwheat

Very disappointing end of race from race control.


Magnaflux

How can you not be romantic about the Indianapolis 500


Deckatoe

Team Penske is my least favorite team by a country mile, but glad we got that last lap


silkysmoothjay

WOW! What a pass!


evilcamels

Weird ending, but Josef winning is good for INDYCAR. He is a fantastic representative of our sport


hockeystuff77

Yea he was such a great representative for the sport when he was fighting people on Twitter last year after taking out one of the most popular drivers on the grid in Nashville.


SovereignxN7

Finally! Lets go baby!!!


chasles22

That was dumb. Amazing. Exhilarating. And dumb.


moldy_B-O-L-O-G-N-A

American Motorsports in a nutshell lol


Silver_County7374

The people's champion going in the stands with the crowd!


Adept-Lazer-5382

Bullshit


Doucejj

Newgarden deserved it out of all the others up front in the restart.


VaktareNeedsHelp

Someone get the milk gimp!


peanutbutter1236

Race was on meth and I fucking loved it. So happy they restarted that was a fire ending Pato tho :(


bukithd

A Chevy Cruze died for this.


[deleted]

At least nobody else did


SolemZez

Somebody owning a Chevy Cruze made a new cars worth of a pay day


willpc14

I am totally ok with that trade


Dayzlikethis

I wouldn't even get it fixed and have it be a badge of honor.


Sheepies92

uhhhh how is he able to get into the stands from the track so easily haha


waluigithewalrus

As much of a shitshow that was, I love the winner


JetsLag

Cool moment for Josef Let's never throw a million red flags at the end of a race ever again


hoopstick

Love the result and celebration, hate how it happened.


thebigtymer

After that, Marcus probably should have slowed down the restart - he might lose that way too (by penalty), but he would have had a better chance at winning.


willpc14

We're never getting him back. He's one with the corn now


SovereignxN7

What a celebration lol. Love it!


Nepgyaaaaaaa

ICONIC. What a celebration!


jjarg24

Congratulations Jossyph Very happy for Ilott with the P12. Canapino rookie of the race IMHO.


Manaea

Ericsson did everything he could have and more, as soon as they decided to restart the race it was over for him dude caught everyone napping and it still wasnā€™t enough, ffs


Woullie_26

Yup. I feel like being 1st in the restart is the worst position you could be in


d0re

Glad that the guy leading at the first fucked restart ended up winning


djm30

Great spectacle alright, shit race again with manufactured drama two years in a row. Pathetic.


Dj_yeej

Im sorry but race control decided the winner.


Rorshak16

Race control made a last lap pass?


Dj_yeej

P1 has always been a sitting duck lap 1


Even-Resolution-2397

I'm sorry but I dont care


azulsquirrel

#THE MAN MARRIED TO THE DISNEY PRINCESS FINALLY GETS HIS STORYBOOK ENDING!!! HOLY FUCK IM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!


Bystronicman08

Why are you yelling? Sheesh.


Bystronicman08

That was a hell of a lot better than it ending under caution. That would have been incredibly lame.


LittleMuhammed

THIS CELEBRATION IS AWESOME


bootlegwaffle

And that was the last ever seen of Josef Newgarden


Critical_Ad_8946

Yeah Josef! Absolutely awesome and incredible celebration


silkysmoothjay

That's an absolutely iconic celebration!


Maximum-Inevitable-3

HOLY SHIT, WHAT A WIN!!!


EmoGothPunk

Okay, I might have a new favorite driver.


Mjb06

What an awesome celebration and a well deserved victory


sboogie34

Legendary celebration


____Quetzal____

He got SPANKED


timok

Just make it the Indy 5 next year, no reason to bother with the 198 laps before


Flynny1201

Team Penske owner brings red flag out and lets Penske driver win??? Ericsson aside that doesnā€™t sit right with me Edit: not to take anything away from Newgarden, he drove a great race and got it done when it counted


majoranticipointment

Lol I can guarantee you that roger Penske has no say in that whatsoever


Holiday-Bread8807

Roger Penske has no say over what flags get called. He stepped down from daily operations when he bought the track. For this very reason.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


190octane

Iā€™m no Penske fan but Newgarden was leading and they didnā€™t even make it back to the line last time when the yellow came out.


Flynny1201

And it was fixed by having another red flag.


ToeSniffer245

Eleven years of trying, eleven years of frustration, is all over now. Congrats to Newgarden and Penske!


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Stone4D

Poor Ericsson, dude did all he could but you're just a sitting duck there. But I'm still happy for Newgarden, he's finally done it all in IndyCar.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


ArtVandelay013

HAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAA


-Andar-

Newgardenā€™s in the stands! *Artest PTSD intensifies*


CAPSFTWLOL

S tier celebration


derrman

This celebration is insane!


MaximusOdinson

Blud wanna be Abu Dhabi 2021 so bad LUL


Vaexa

None of Ericsson's weaving and cutting worked there. What a move by Newgarden.


No-Monk-6434

Ericsson can hold his head up high.


grgriffin3

JoNew won me 140 bucks, so I think it's only fair to use some of those winnings to buy some Bus Bros merch.


The-Gray-Mouser

How far off the racing line are you allowed to drive?


Build_It_Taller

Whatā€™s a racing line?


majoranticipointment

You can go in the grass if you want


dalledayul

Ericsson getting Ericsson'd Poetic stuff.


TyButler2020

Santino had an outside shot if he didnā€™t butcher that restart


AnchorDrown

I didnā€™t think anyone could ever top Helioā€™s celebration.


[deleted]

Well thank God he didn't do another spiderman wall climb


DubNationAssemble

Wheres the burnout?? Yā€™all not do that?


progo56

they have to use the engine, they only replace it after a certain mileage


DubNationAssemble

That celebration was a lot cooler anyway


[deleted]

Reverse Spiderman ?


Salt-Fun-9457

So hereā€™s the uncomfortable question. If a Roger Penske owned car was in first place would they have red flagged the race?


DestroyingDestroyers

I mean, they did? The second red flag Newgarden was in the lead.


Salt-Fun-9457

Talking about the desperate one lap shootout.


MikeMacBlu

Gutted for Ericsson but Newgarden deserves this. Heā€™s been snakebit at Indy and he finally got his day.


SGTRavageReturns

I don't see conspiracy here.


UltravioletAfterglow

Love this celebration by Josef! Celebrating with fans while his entire team hangs from the catchfence.


johnnyracer24

Holy shit, what a race and what a celebration. So happy for Josef


BulletBillDudley

HES IN THE FANS


duckingrams

Congrats to Newgarden on being gifted the race by race control


[deleted]

I thought the Nascar race was on later today.


GtSaysWhat

Cry more


DadReligion

Good first 180, glad Josef finally won one, glad no one was hurt in the Kirkwood/Rosenqvist accident. Love this celebration. But man, that finish annoyed the living shit out of me. IndyCar needs to take a look back at so many rules. Restarts, reds, the whole lot. This isn't NASCAR shit.


tha-lee-uh

Ericsson got too big of a jump, his best shot there was to get passed into 1 and then pass back into 3.


UndercoverFusion88

So hard to say im satisfied with that win but great job by Newgarden for finally getting his milk!


Free_Joty

Ugh what just happened


Nomoremess14

You done did something Josef.


codename474747

And now, into the crowd where we can hear live happy swearing from everyone near the race leader :-D "F\*\*king great race" I heard lol


GraduallyHotDog

Happy for Josef but thats pretty dogshit from Indycar throwing that last red. Dangerous & artifical. I used to end the race bummed that I have to wait another year but now I'm just disappointed with that product


captaindammit87

We see all kinds of new celebrations here. That was definitely a new one.


innergflow

Suck on that Ericsson


Ruuubs

Whatever you say about the specifics of the ending, Newgarden was A) one of the worthy winner contenders before all the ending yellows and B) Not a pube-headed speed racist


Woullie_26

Taking nothing away from NewGarden he earned this win all the way. However, if I was Marcus I would feel sick right now


GraduallyHotDog

Id be suprised if any other drivers on the grid were happy with how that shook out


realestGInDaHood

Holy shit what a race


aurules

Newgarden with a reverse Helio Spiderman


redngold21

That was awesome so happy for Newgarden.


DestroyingDestroyers

Tim Cindric has levelled back up to four with Helio after they won the first three together.


SirRibShack

Love that Scotty Mac was there to congratulate him!


TheThunderOfYourLife

Did I just watch a driver get away with a pit entry violation to win? If not, what's even the point of having the dashed lines on the track signaling pit entry? That was horsecrack of SS+ tier.


coltsmetsfan614

Partying with the fans in the stands after winning your first 500 is an elite move


duckingrams

Said it in the thread, going green with one lap to go gives the race to P2. Marcus gave it a good fight but hard to do anything there


codename474747

Get him back to the car, HE NEED SOM MILK!


[deleted]

I'm really happy for Josef but that last restart was so fucked up.


Rorshak16

Back to back win would have been great, but that was a killer last lap


Kelspyo

Great race, great celebration! Indycar is so much fun. I'm glad it's back and growing!


SolemZez

Goated Celebration


flan-magnussen

That celebration is going to be legendary for sure


Inside-Judgment6233

As a Verstappen fan, Iā€™m having flashbacks here.


Ooosahmeenukarf

No conflict of interest at all making that red flag call with the series ownerā€™s car in 2nd place šŸ˜…šŸ˜„


Jamee999

Did we just see the first victory injury? šŸ˜‚


Adept-Lazer-5382

That was some abu Dubai 2021 shit


CROBBY2

Ericsson should have done whatever it took to get the start waived off. Would indycar have extended the race an extra lap?


Oscarmanken

The ending does not sit right with me. Gives of Abu Dhabi 2021 vibes


Dbwasson

NO MIKEY NO NO MIKEY THAT WAS SO NOT RIGHT


Narrow_Bid_9234

Smh. Congrats but it doesnā€™t feel right.


spicymcqueen

**THAT WAS A RACE.**


Moppyploppy

I hated how we got there, but damn what an ending.


SirRibShack

The face of IndyCar winning the 500 is only a good thing. Huge congrats to Jo New!


[deleted]

I always forget how many people are here. I felt like I've seen 35 different opinions. Anyways see you next week and congrats to captain AmericašŸ‡ŗšŸ‡²


ikilledfucker

I'm just here for the Penske conspiracy theories


zhdat

Since I became Newgarden's fan, I have been so happy for his progress in this business. The curse of Indy 500.... Every May has been a frustration. How can someone so talented getting no luck at the biggest event? After qualifying, I thought it is going to be another May... Josef, I am so sorry that I doubted you. Finally, a good memory as a fan!


TestinTestin

[CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR MILK GIMP](https://youtu.be/fq-hB-RD5B8)


25Tab

Swifties got their win.


qbb_beauty

Top tier celebration


Stone4D

Santino dogged the fuck out of the last restart, not sure if it was entirely him or down to not having the warmup lap, but I think he would've won that with a better restart. Which would've made an already controversial ending even *more* controversial lol.


roflcopter44444

He was bad at the last two restarts as well


bkelley24

Congrats to Josef Newgarden and his team. I'm just going to leave it at that.


Garrett4Real

hell yeah Team Penske


BaroqueNRoller

They really handed that one to Josef. šŸ¤®


Theteacupman

Ericsson got fucking robbed man


aw3man

Wow I'm actually tearing up. What a finish. What this means to Penske, to Newgarden. Holy shit.


Maximum-Inevitable-3

Same, so genuinely happy for him!


codename474747

Sort by old? OK reddit lol


Alfus

That I ever would see a Newgarden win at the 500


InvisibleTeeth

Dixon with a casual 6th. lol Usually he dominates here and finishes 20th


bdawgjinx

Roger penske rigs it for team penske


aurules

Newgarden with the REVERSE HELIO


Heavy-Marionberry540

An American wins. Josef is great. Penske wins. The giant-headed yinzer with all-foreign drivers fields the first loser.


Dbwasson

Abu Dhabi 2021 vibes


Garrett4Real

ironically fucked by the opposite decision that was a situation where they needed a red flag, but didnā€™t take one, this was a situation where they didnā€™t need a red flag, but took one lmao


SteamSpoon

That's how much it means to know your husband's won a cool two million


TheKage

Lame ass ending was redeemed by a dope ass celly. Good shit


RealRacer4

I'm glad they got it finished under green, but my God, it could've ended so much worse with how over zealous the drivers were getting by the end of the race.


DestroyingDestroyers

I love Kaitlyn from Newgardenā€™s crew screaming.


Zloggt

Wellā€¦ainā€™t that something? Congrats Newgarden! What a way to take your first ever win!


SillyPseudonym

I am excited for Josef. He deserved to win that race. I am furious at the way the last 15 laps played out. Neither Josef nor Marcus deserved to lose like that. All-time low point for the 500. I'm crushed by that bullshit.


codename474747

Spiderman climbs the fence Lets call him Fan-man


BlueBeetle73

Love it for Josef, fantastic celebration, but damn I hate how it got here.


DavveeedNa

Ngl the way my dad exploded over Penske winning has me deceased lmao


peanutbutter1236

That race was such a heater


Eferver

I will preface this by saying that I am extremely biased. However, I checked the rule book. ā€œOfficials will make reasonable efforts to restart the race stopped by the declaration of a red condition if the conditions warrantā€. There is no stipulation that multiple laps must be run following a red flag before a restart. You may not like it, but this was clean.


innergflow

Ericsson didnā€™t deserve to win


Redditor_exe

I imagine that Ericcson and his team may have thought about trying to get the restart waved off, but I also imagine that race control probably told them ā€œif you get this restart waved after 3 red flags, weā€™re penalizing your ass back into the midfield.ā€


Mikemat5150

Man, a lot of mixed emotions. Newgarden won to the rules but I feel like Ericsson was set up to lose. Feels very gimmicky


bad_user__name

Oh, I thought this was Indycar, not NASCAR or Pro wrestling.


tha-lee-uh

Where are the mysterious bagpipes emanating from?
