🐼Will Power finished down in 19th in the sole-surviving Penske at the Indy 500. It's been a week to forget for Roger Penske's squad.

Pato O'Ward finishe๊d fourth just outside the podium spots in fourth place. His hunt for a maiden victory in the Indy 500 continues.

Marcu♉s Ericsson came really close to winning the In♉dy 500 for a second time. A late caution put paid to any chances of pulling off a last-gasp move on Alex Palou. 

This is the second career podium for David Malukas, who previously finished third at Gatwick in 2023 while driving for Dale Coyne𓂃 Racing.

Alex Palou has now five out of the first six races of the year. And having finally clinched that elusive first career win on an oval, he now has to be count෴ed among the greatest IndyCar✤ drivers of all time.

Alex Palou's victory was guaranteed after the caution flew midway through the final lap following a crash for a backma🐈rker.

As expecꦜted, the Indy 500 is going down the wire. Alex Palou may have taken the lead, bu🦄t Marcus Ericsson is right on his tail. David Malukas and Pato O'Ward are not too far behind.

The race is nearing its finish. Can Ericsson hol༒d on to victory? 

Pato O♉'Ward is back in the fight for victory. He has recovered to fourth place, right behind David Malukas.

Marcus Ericsson's strategy has paid off. He delayed♓ his pitstop till lap 175 and has now taken the overall lead.

Ryan Hunter-R♛eay's troubles have prompted David Malukas to the race lead. Alex Paꦜlou is running right behind him in second.

Ryan Hunter-Rear, Aꦿlex Palou and Santino Ferrucci pit.

The fuel-saving done by Palou and Ferrucci have pa♒id off. They should be able to get to the finish no🐭w.

Conor Daly dropped from second to fifth🅷 and has to make an early pitstop to get rid of his worn tyres. He will have to make a splash to get to the finish now, unless there is♔ a caution.

Ryan Hunter-Reay is looking in good shape with 40 laps to run. He may be off-strategy, but he just needs just one more pitstop to get to the finish. If the📖re is no caution period from now, he might score his second Indy 500 win today.

 Strategy, as always, will play a major role in deciding the winner o🍸f the Indy 500.

Josef Newgarden has officially retired from the race, which means all of Penske's hopes now lie on Will Power, who is running 18th at the momentꦍ.

Newgarden has 🌊to pit for a second time due to a fuel issue. He has dropped sevꦅeral laps down
