Months after winning the 110th running of the Indianapolis 500 on May 24, 2026, in the closest finish in race history – 0.0233 seconds over David Malukas – the gravity of the achievement is finally setting in. Rosenqvist started fourth, led 25 of 200 laps, and averaged 162.021 mph through a record 70 lead changes to capture a record $4.34 million winner's purse in his eighth Indy start.
