== Race ==
The 103rd Indianapolis 500 saw significantly cooler temperatures and a downforce rule change that allowed the cars to follow more closely than the previous year's edition. Several drivers swapped the lead throughout the race seeing Josef Newgarden lead the most laps while his teammate Simon Pagenaud and Andretti companions Alexander Rossi, Ryan Hunter-Reay, and Fernando Alonso among others have turns out front as well. Late in the race with Simon Pagenaud leading, the hard charging Colton Herta made a daring move inside of Alexander Rossi for fourth going into turn one. The two touched and Herta spun up the track careening into Ed Carpenter and the outside wall.. Herta's car did a half flip on impact while others scattered behind him. Colton Herta and the rest of the drivers were uninjured in the wreckage, but the crash left five cars out of the race and several others with minor damage that hampered their winning efforts including Alexander Rossi. Herta still won the rookie of the year due to his overall performance throughout the month of May. This set up a shootout between Simon Pagenaud, Scott Dixon, and Graham Rahal with seven laps to go. Dixon looked to move around Pagenaud in turn one but couldn't make the move leaving the door open for Rahal to sneak through into second. Rahal was then able to pounce on Pagenaud with four laps to go. After getting around Pagenaud, he had to fend off several attacks. Pagenaud made one last effort to get close enough to Rahal to make a move on the final lap but couldn't do it handing the win to Rahal and almost losing second to James Hinchcliffe. Graham Rahal became the driver with the worst starting position to win at Indy since Johnny Rutherford in 1974 when he also won from the 25th position on the grid.
