Jose Alejo, 36, was taken into custody for his suspected role in a shooting back in April.
INDIANAPOLIS — Josef Newgarden once again brought his victorious Team Penske car to a stop on the Yard of Bricks at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He found that same hole in the fence, climbed through, and was pummeled by fans celebrating his second consecutive Indianapolis 500 triumph.
“I love this crowd. I’ve got to always go in the crowd if we win here, I am always doing that,” said Newgarden, who earned a $440,000 bonus from trophy-maker BorgWarner for winning consecutive 500s. The award was established in 1995 and only claimed once, by Castroneves. It looked as if he had been crying when he finally removed his helmet. He finished sixth in his Indy 500 debut, then fourth and then second in 2022 when he was accused of not being aggressive enough to race Marcus Ericsson for the win.
“I'm fine. It's been a tough month, so much goes into this race,” O'Ward said. “I think I'm somebody who wears my heart on my sleeve. I don't really hide anything. And it's just, when you come so close, and it just doesn't seem to happen, it's just a lot of emotion.” “It’s a privilege to race here, right? I’m in a situation where I’m lucky to have won, but Pato has come close a few times,” Dixon said. “It can go in cycles. As I’ve said many a times, finishing second sucks. It’s horrible. You’d rather finish last I think almost at this place and be out of the race early. He’ll be fine. He’s got plenty of time on his hands.”season-opening victory disqualified
The start of the race was delayed four hours by rain and it ruined NASCAR star Kyle Larson's chance to run “ .” The delay in Indy made him miss the start of the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
