Josef Newgarden won his second successive Indy 500 with a final lap overtake in a dramatic, much-delayed race.
But the full-length race was still completed shortly before the 20:15 curfew - and was decided on the last lap. "There is no better way to win a race than that. I've got to give it up to Pato as well," Newgarden told NBC. The American swept past his Mexican opponent to become the first driver to seal consecutive Indy 500 wins since Helio Castroneves in 2001 and 2002, and only the sixth in the event's 108-race history.Newgarden and his competitors had to wait to race because of heavy rain and lightning in Indiana.
