Record-breaking $16m purse for Indy 500, Ericsson scoops $3.1m

Ericsson’s Huski Chocolate-backed Chip Ganassi Racing-Honda came home first, pursued by Pato O’Ward’s Arrow McLaren SP-Chevrolet, Tony Kanaan (also Ganassi) and Felix Rosenqvist in the second AMSP entry.

For his efforts, Ericsson scored the largest winner’s payout ever for the world’s largest single-day sporting event, from the largest largest purse ever in the 106-year history of “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” Prior to 2022, the biggest Indy 500 purse was $14.4 million for the 2008 Indy 500.
