The Indianapolis 500, also known as “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing”, the yearly event which lures hundreds of thousands of racing enthusiasts to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the last weekend of May. For 500 miles these racing machines will go around the oval track for 200 laps of exhilarating and exciting racing.

The winner of this year’s edition of the race is no other than Dario Franchitti. This year’s win also puts him in a different level among the drivers of the Indy 500 as he has become the 10th driver in history to win the historic event at least three times. Having won it in 2007 and 2010 this win made it more special because of his friend and fellow racer Dan Wheldon who was killed last year in a horrific car crash at the IndyCar season finale.

The whole race, and race weekend was a tribute to Dan Wheldon who is known for his iconic white sunglasses. Fans were handed mock ups of Dan’s white sunglasses to wear during the parade lap and on laps 26 and 98, car numbers of which Wheldon used during his two successful runs at Indianapolis. The race was a fitting tribute to a man with a passion for driving and for life.
