Today was the last of the big three races this year. Actually the Belmont has made itself the last major race to watch this year but it's not usually the case. The Indy 500 was held earlier today and it did a fine job honoring the late Dan Wheldon the whole time who was actually last year's winner of the race. The race itself was a good one and it came to the last lap Takuma Sato tried to pass Dario Franchitti for the win but ended up spinning out of control. Dario Franchitti would end up winning the race under caution. This was Dario's 3rd Indy 500 win.
What a way for the Indy 500 to end. Another late desperate attempt to pass ends up in a crash. Behind Franchitti was Scott Dixon and Tony Kanaan, another couple of Wheldon's buddies. Sort of fitting at the end just like the beginning. This year's running also broke the record for lead changes which was 29 back in 1960. This one had 35 changes between 10 drivers. Still, congrats to Dario for winning another Indy 500. It's a trilogy now for his legend in the making.
