Takuma Sato won Sunday’s Indianapolis 500 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It is his first Indianapolis 500 victory.
Sato came close to winning the race in 2012, but spun on the final lap while battling Dario Franchitti for the win. On Sunday, the Japanese racing driver, and ex-F1 driver, made it happen while racing for Andretti Autosport.
Scott Dixon led the field away for the first of 200 laps at the 2.5-mile speedway Sunday afternoon, but lost the top spot just six laps in when his teammate Tony Kanaan took over the lead.
Kanaan continued to lead until the first round of stops around Lap 30 and, when it was over, Ed Carpenter found himself out front ahead of 2016 Indianapolis 500 winner Alexander Rossi and two-time F1 champion Fernando Alonso.
