Every Memorial Day weekend, the Greatest Spectacle in Racing comes to life in Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It's called the INDY 500, and for this year, it's going to be a lot different than previous INDY 500 races. Alex Palou may be this season's current leader, but will he win his first INDY 500 race in his career? Time to find out.
Due to the weather conditions that caused a delay to the race start, the track conditions were cool, and this spelled disaster for Scott McLaughlin in the middle of pace laps. As the green flag waved, Marco Andretti crashed out of the race. Come Lap 19, the weather conditions placed the race on the yellow flag for 11 laps before resuming.
40 laps down with Alexander Rossi leading, misfortune strikes on the pit lane as Rossi's car caught fire. Lap 87 saw Rinus Veekay spinning on the pit lane, followed by Kyle Larson's accident on Lap 92 that caught Kyffin Simpson and Sting Ray Robb, gutting the NASCAR driver out of the race.

Behind Nolan Siegel's last-lap crash, Alex Palou made headlines in Indianapolis. Alex Palou trumped Marcus Ericsson and David Malukas to become the first Spaniard to win the Indy 500. At long last, a Spanish driver will have his face marked on the legendary Borg-Warner Trophy.
The Indy 500 is over, but the 2025 NTT IndyCar Series rages on with the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix this June 1, 2025.
