Juan Pablo Montoya wins his second Indy 500

SPEEDWAY, Ind. — With a bold move on a teammate, Juan Pablo Montoya became a two-time Indianapolis 500 winner.

With three laps to go, Montoya made a pass on the outside of teammate Will Power going into Turn One and made it stick. Montoya then held on to win his second career Indy 500, having also won in 2000 as a rookie.

Montoya then left IndyCar racing to experiment in NASCAR. With Sunday’s win, his decision to return looks like a wise one.

Montoya, Power and Scott Dixon traded the top three spots several times in a wild final 15 laps of the race.
