Rosenqvist Wins 110th Indianapolis 500 by 0.0233 Seconds in the Closest Finish in Race History
On May 24, 2026, the 110th Indianapolis 500 was held at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Marion County, Indiana. Swedish driver Felix Rosenqvist passed David Malukas on the final lap and won by 0.0233 of a second, the closest margin of victory in the race's history.
Race officials said the previous record was Al Unser Jr.'s 0.043-second win over Scott Goodyear in 1992. This year's race featured an event-record 70 lead changes, breaking the mark of 68 set in 2013. Pole sitter Alex Palou led a race-high 59 laps, while Rosenqvist led 25 laps and took the lead from Malukas on the final lap.
It was Rosenqvist's first Indianapolis 500 victory in his eighth career start, making him the third Swedish winner after Kenny Brack in 1999 and Marcus Ericsson in 2022. His team, Meyer Shank Racing, earned its second victory in the race, car No. 60 won for the first time, and Honda engines recorded their 17th win. Mick Schumacher was the top-finishing rookie, in 18th place.
