INDIANAPOLIS - French polesitter Simon Pagenaud steered clear of trouble on the track and in the pits, then outraced Alexander Rossi to the checkered flag at the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday.A five-car pile up with 23 laps to run, triggered when Graham Rahal and Sebastien Bourdais came together, brought out a red flag that set up a mad dash to finish with Pagenaud and Rossi swapping the lead over the final laps.
It was a clinically cool display by the son of a grocery store owner from LeMans as Pagenaud fought off challenges from two former 500 winners Rossi and Japan’s Takuma Sato, who completed the podium. The victory capped a perfect month for Pagenaud, who also won the Indianapolis Grand Prix two weeks ago.
