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

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

Marcus Ericsson came really 𝄹close to winning the Indy 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 Coyne Racing.

Here is your top 10 for the Indy 500: 1. Alex Pal🏅ou 2. Marcus Ericsson 3. David Malukas 4. Pato O'Ward 5. Felix Rosenqvist 6. Kyle Kir𓂃kwood 7. Santino Ferrucci 8. Christian Rasmussen 9. Christian Lundgaard 10. Conor Daly.

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 coun⛎ted among the greatest IndyCar drivers of all time.

Alex Palou's victory was guar🎃anteed after the caution flew midway through the final lap following a crash for🎉 a backmarker.

Alex Palou is close to sco👍ring his first win on an oval, but ༒Marcus Ericsson won't make that easy for him.

As expected, the Indy 500 is going down the wire. Alex Palou may have taken the lead, b🏅ut Marcus Ericsson is right on his tail. David ꦜMalukas and Pato O'Ward are not too far behind.

The race is💎 nearing its finish. Can Ericsson hold on to victory? 

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

Marcus Ericsson's strategy has paid💮 off. He delayed his pit🌳stop till lap 175 and has now taken the overall lead.

Ryan Hunter-💧Reay's troubles have prompted David Malukas to the race lead. Alex Palou is running right behind him in sec🔯ond. 

It's important to note that Malukas pitted two l🍒aps after Palou.

Ryan⛦ Hunter-Rear, Alex ༺Palou and Santino Ferrucci pit.

The fuel-saving done by Palou and Ferrucci have paid off. ♛T🐷hey should be able to get to the finish now.

Conor Daly dropped from second to fifth and has to mꦚake 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 good𒀰 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 there is no caution period from now, he might score his second In🅠dy 500 win today.

The likes of Conor Daly, David Malukas and Alex Palou will need to make a splash if there is no caution period in the remainder of the💫 race. Some others might be able to complete the race with just one additional pitstop.

 Strategy, as always, will play a m�💝�ajor role in deciding the winner of the Indy 500.

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

Alex Pa🍌lou took over the net lead after the latest round o🌸f pitstops, but Conor Daly repassed him on track to reinstate the status quo.

Newgarden has to pit for a second time due to a fuel issu♍e. He has dropped several 𒅌laps down
