What happened last race?

It was a dramatic and eventual Indy 500 las time out, as Team Penske's Josef Newgarden became the first driver in over twenty years to win the famous race back-to-back.

Following several early crashes, the race ultimately came down to a final lap showdown between Newgarden and McLaren star, Pato O'Ward.

Entering the last lap right behind O'Ward, Newgarden timed his move to perfection, sling-shotting his way past the Mexican to take a famous win - while 2008 winner Scott Dixon came home in third place.
