On the track, Sweden's Marcus Ericsson came remarkably close to winning his second Indianapolis 500—losing to Spain's Alex Palou by just 0.6822 seconds.
However, a post-race inspection revealed that Ericsson had unsanctioned modifications on his car. The result: a penalty that sent him careening to the bottom of the field. The Andretti Global driver was credited with a 31st-place finish, his worst in any IndyCar race since a 33rd-place showing in last year's Indy 500.
