CNN —Josef Newgarden used a scintillating last-lap pass to win the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday for the second consecutive year in a race that started four hours late due to extreme weather.
We worked our tails off,” Newgarden told race broadcaster NBC.
“Absolutely, they can say whatever they want after this point, I don’t care any more,” Newgarden said after the Indy 500.
The Indy 500 regularly shares a date with the famous Monaco Grand Prix, known as the “crown jewel” of the Formula One calendar.
Michael Conroy/AP“(Racing at 50) was always my goal, but I don’t want to just ‘do it’,” he told Indy Star.
