2016 Indianapolis 500

The 2016 Indianapolis 500 took place on May 29, 2016.

Juan Pablo Montoya was the defending race winner, but spun on lap 64; and thus didn't defend his win. On the BATC Rankings tomorrow, Montoya will fall to at least No.4 in the rankings. Alexander Rossi won the race; the first time a rookie won since future DWTS champion Hélio Castroneves in 2001.

Recap
The first 20 laps saw a see-saw battle for the lead between James Hinchcliffe and Ryan Hunter-Reay.
