INDIANAPOLIS — Takuma Sato won’t waste any time wondering what might have happened if his teammate had not crashed in the closing laps of the Indianapolis 500.
It’s just a silly game of hypotheticals after Sunday’s race ended under caution with Sato coasting to his second Indy 500 win in four years. Windermere Prep alum Spencer Pigot crashed with five laps remaining to bring out the yellow flag, pausing Dixon’s charge on Sato for an anticlimactic ending to “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.”
“The Indy 500, you never really know until the last corner,” said Sato, the only Japanese driver to win the Indy 500 and now the 20th two-time winner.
