Very entertaining race today - a LOT of lead changes and an enjoyable win for TK. Also great to hear Jim Neighbors back to sing Back Home Again in Indiana... being from Indiana originally that's always my favorite part of the pre-race ceremonies.

That was a helluva Indy 500.. Don't see why Nascrap is so popular. Those boys today were on it all 500 miles! My daughter was there and said the place went nuts when TK got the lead. Congrats. I just woke from a nap watching the Napcar 6000...

Iv'e watched every 500 since 1961 via closed circuit or television and Iv'e had it with USAC or whoever is making these decisions to continue ending a race on a yellow flag finish! I say BS!! I asked Mario personally in 1994 at Laguna Seca about this very thing and he told me its a 500 mile race, no more no less. My reply was your correct in saying "race" and racing isn't done under yellow, it a crap rule always has been and always will be. BS!!!!!!!!!! Time to change.

Completely agree. It would have been the most thrilling finish ever had it stayed green. You can't help it if someone crashes with 2 laps to go, that's racing. That said I think they need to explore either using the "green white checkered" finish even if it goes past 200 laps or red flag the race until the accident is cleaned up. There have been arguments for and against.

It was a very exciting race, probably the best one since the invention of the IRL, which has really been a waste of time since 1995. That having been said I understand the desire to finish under the green, but it is a 500 mile race and I agree that it should be ended at 500 miles. I blame the drivers or car failures for yellow flag finishes, not the club. At 500 miles the race is over. Like I said, I understand the desire to end under a green flag, but this isn't Nascrap!

It's a 500 mile race period. Always has been. If you want to watch green white checkers, watch your napcar. Extending it would just cause chaos, with cars running out of fuel and getting run over, etc. Several laps to get things cleaned up, rinse, repeat. Thats not racing, but chaos is truly what some only want to see!

Also maybe NO GWC because remember a few years ago there was a caution at the end and they started it and one driver FLIPPED into the catch fence and got hur real bad? I think it was about 3-4 years ago? Maybe that what Indycar is trying to avoid !

All your arguments are valid. A couple of other reasons they will never do a GWC or even throw the red is tradition. 500 miles is exactly what it is, plus Indy Car, CART, USAC, even the AAA years they never did a GWC or red. However, I will always wonder what would have been the outcomes in 1989 (Fittipaldi/Unser Jr.), 2012, and this year.

Good points. Didn't they go red when Eddie Sacks was killed in the explosion? I think that they also went red in '67 or '68 when there was that 17 car pile up on the start. But no, they don't for a majority of the accidents. The situation needs to be pretty dramatic. Some of the races would have probably had different outcomes with a GWC however, like perhaps this years. I think in '89 it was decided when Unser Jr. bounced off of the wall in the North Chute. These are questions for the conversation, not arguments to your point Pitguy14. I am sure that someone here knows the answers.

KANAAN EARNS $2.3 MILLION FOR WINNING 97TH INDIANAPOLIS 500

INDIANAPOLIS, Monday, May 27, 2013 - Tony Kanaan earned $2,353,355 from an overall purse of $12,020,065 for his victory Sunday, May 26 in the 97th Indianapolis 500 Mile Race.

Brazil native Kanaan, who started 12th, set a record winning speed of 187.433 mph, breaking the previous mark of 185.981 set by Arie Luyendyk in 1990. Kanaan won "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing" for the first time in 12 career starts, tying an event record for earning a victory latest in a driver's Indy 500 career. The other driver to win the race for the first time in his 12th career start was Sam Hanks in 1957.

Kanaan, who led the race 15 times for a total of 34 laps in his No. 11 Hydroxycut KV Racing Technology-SH Chevrolet, won the race when he and Carlos Munoz overtook race leader Ryan Hunter-Reay entering Turn 1 on a Lap 198 after a restart. During that restart, three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dario Franchitti's No. 10 Target Chip Ganassi Racing Honda made contact with the wall between Turns 1 and 2, allowing Kanaan to cruise to the checkered flag under caution.

In the first IZOD IndyCar Series race of his career, Munoz, of Colombia, qualified second and finished second in his No. 26 Unistraw Chevrolet for Andretti Autosport. Munoz was voted the winner of the prestigious Chase Rookie of the Year Award.
Munoz, who owns two Firestone Indy Lights wins this season and finished fourth in the Firestone Freedom 100 on Friday, May 24, earned $964,205, which included a $25,000 bonus from Chase.

Reigning IZOD IndyCar Series champion Hunter-Reay earned $583,005 for driving his No. 1 DHL Chevrolet for Andretti Autosport to a third-place finish in a performance that saw him lead the race 13 times for 26 laps.

In driving his No. 25 RC Cola Chevrolet Chevrolet to a fourth-place finish, Andretti Autosport's Marco Andretti joined Kanaan in leading the race 15 times, the most ever by an Indianapolis 500 driver who did not win the race. Andretti, who led for 31 laps and took the IZOD IndyCar Series points lead, was awarded $469,755.

Justin Wilson drove his No. 19 Dale Coyne Racing Honda to an Indianapolis 500 career-best fifth place after starting 14th. Wilson earned $337,805.

Three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves earned $313,755 by driving his No. 3 Shell V-Power/Pennzoil Ultra Team Penske Chevrolet to a sixth-place finish. Castroneves led one lap in the race and has led in eight of his 12 career Indianapolis 500 starts for a total of 232 laps.

Pole sitter Ed Carpenter, who led the race six times for a race-high 37 laps in his No. 20 Fuzzy's Vodka Ed Carpenter Racing Chevrolet, finished the 10th Indianapolis 500 of his career in 10th position. He received $405,955, which included $100,000 for earning the Verizon P1 Award as pole winner.

The Indianapolis 500 Mile Race purse consists of Indianapolis Motor Speedway and IZOD IndyCar Series awards, plus other designated and special awards. Purse awards were announced and presented at the Victory Awards Celebration presented by Ice Miller LLP on Monday, May 27 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The 98th Indianapolis 500 is scheduled for Sunday, May 25, 2014. First run in 1911, "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing" is the world's largest single-day sporting event and most prestigious auto race.

Because the race is 500 miles and no further. This isn't WWE.

I am not so sure that the Green/White/Checkers is an answer to anything in 500 mile racing. You must use a strategy that will have enough fuel to make the attempts at extra miles, then there is the carnage. The carnage is about the only thing that NASCAR has perfected in the GWC format. I think Indy has it right!
