In een waanzinnige eindspurt 'beroofde' Sam Hornish jr. zijn concurrent Marco Andretti van de eindzege in de 90e editie van de Indy 500. De jongste telg uit de Andretti-familie leek op een droomzege af te stevenen, maar liet zich in de laatste meters compleet verrassen door Hornish Jr. Het verschil bedroeg slechts 0.0635 van een seconde ofwel één autolengte. Achter het snelle duo eindigde Michael Andretti als 3e.
