The 2023 Indianapolis 500 delivered a wild one-lap dash to the finish after several red flags in the closing stages, and Josef Newgarden passed Marcus Ericsson to win in a thrilling finish.
Ericsson got a great jump on the restart, but Newgarden was able to use the draft to pass Ericsson down the backstraight, and held off the defending Indy 500 champion through the final two turns to win IndyCar’s biggest race in his 12th attempt.
