Josef Newgarden's Indy 500 victory celebration was one for the ages
You could argue that the way IndyCar handled the end of the 500 was BS - it was a one-lap shootout - but until they adopt NASCAR overtime rules, it is what it is.
So…Newgarden made a quick pass on the race leader Marcus Ericsson, won by about a car length, turned one victory lap…then stopped on the Yard of Bricks, shut down, got out of the car, crawled through the catch fence and jumped into a pack of fans to celebrate.
