IndyCar Series: Indianapolis 500 | EXTENDED HIGHLIGHTS | 5/30/21 | Motorsports on NBC

when you see the frontstretch for the first time when you hit green, this is the Indianapolis 500 for all to see, ready right here, a jungle begins. Scott Dixon prepares the field charge and then, first to accelerate, Dixon leads two young men to the turn. one three wide around the outside elio castroneves making a move and turn two in ryan hunter ray is making his way to the front big move by three time champion elliot castro the first you'll see is the white and red car Erickson looks for options and Colton, the 21-year-old American takes the lead in the Indianapolis 500.

Now, of course, he is going to compete with Herder and he will succeed too. He said I liked it. I think I would like it. He led the first lap, but he'll lead the second lap and we'll get an answer here. How much fuel did Colton save after VK probably hits pit lane? There is no indication here that it does. So the cold heart has to be careful here. Don't run from the back here he comes here he goes vk okay colton stays out dixon stays out carpenter out this guy has burned the most fuel he's burning his fire stones getting to the line you have to be careful with that don't do it come in too hot put away those tires marty now you gotta be careful but here comes the leader colton herta tell us more cold hearted kev did a great job in the first inning kept stefan wilson is in an accident on pit road the front of that car it's ripped from what happened to this honda lola sport well this is really going to help the guys that were left on the track it looks like it lost control it lost control on the brakes it slowed down because of the speed limit on pits and hit the inside wall but the guys who stayed on the road this will really help them blackboard goes too fast and is locked locks the rear wheels in a downshift it is very easy to do since these cars lose speed they have practically no load aerodynamics at 100 miles per hour with These little wings are a disaster for the race's prohibitive favorite, Scott Dixon, who had to go down to the pits for emergency service, but when he got to the pits the car ran out of fuel and now he can't. will come back on, they're in a temperature like 12 13 right there trying to get the car to fire again and once these cars warm up they tend to not want to fire again and that's what they're finding now in camp nine, the team is so frustrated now that We're going to take the whole engine cover off with the nine car, the safety car and the field rolling the Scott Dixon disaster for the nine Marty.

It's on again in Townsend, that's the key and they're trying to keep it going here for Scott Dixon. trying to fasten the engine cover too, meanwhile everyone else will now head back to the pits and finally get their service. The car is on fire for Scott Dixon. You see Alexander Rossi. He thought about getting emergency service for the yellow, black and blue car as well. it's colton's honda gang bridge get ready green green green at the age of 21 he's already won four races but look arenas right in your gearbox right versus chevrolet i wonder how much the vk team said wait and save some gas along what's the hunter going inside that's castro elio here comes elio oh look in the short shoot he closes the door and alex paulo in the blue white tent car made a move on hunter ray in the short shoot castroneves at the age of 46 wants to be four time winner, he's not waiting for anyone, he moves it at will with conor daly squeezed it in and then squeezed it out, maneuvering very aggressively very early in the ring, spider man is back on the vk circuit right there in the interior, this is now a 1 -2 chevy and i think vk just couldn't help it, it's like man i just can't go that slow, i gotta make my move, this is over, it's got 2019 all over it, check out this look , that local hero wants to lead has grown up here all his life received a big round of applause and the driver's introduction the flying mullet is flying up front adelio castroneves in his 21st appearance here at the indy 500. here comes connor daly takes off now castroneves is the leader as conor daly hits pit lane with that vk air force 47 car and daley another pass for the lead as they continue to trade here as we work past the halfway point in the

indianapolis

500 lap 103 of the 200 , so danica patrick is watching conor daly try to win here. as they approach the pits here and the pit stops now, which has been a key strategic part of this Indy 500 after Stefan Wilson's accident and the incident, I should say, in pit lane on lap 35 of today for pit stops.

Mike Connor Daley. I told his team that I'm trying not to be a total hindrance, but I'll give them the number they won. They told him we are looking at that number. Made it to lap 103. The balance is good in this car. Marty and Connor Daley worked perfectly with their teammate. renus vk and I think rikay is back in the game here if you can get to lap 101, which they did, they're setting here around 103. You can do it in two more stops after this arena, but the race may still It's not over, Mike. as they enter the pits they should only face two more stops, colton hurt around joseph newgarden, big block by newgarden, any cut back in front of him to the outside, colton herder loses a little speed there, ryan hunter ray lo chase here in the back, everyone's mixing it up, everyone's stacking up, they pitted at different times, but now they're meeting each other again on the track, all these battles for position, that's mclaughlin in the yellow pennzoil car that He left the pits right in front of Colton Herta Berna said it was a rude move by Newgarden on the frontstretch.

There you can see the battle ahead. That's Alex Pillow, who will take back the lead. Castroneves in second place in the black and pink Nation Sirius xm car and then Pato Award. Those are the first three. Two Hondas. leading a chevy and for alex pillow and the guy running there prize duck both became winners for the first time they lost the pit exit in front of the leaders that was oh, he hit a tire a tire came into the frame he was coming out trying to rush him in the warm up lane and it's very easy to make cold tires on a tight track and he lost it right in front of the field and it was a hard hit against the wall last time we saw it was alex cenadi and luckily for graham ray hall no one found him he picked up he came out and turned in front of paulo and castroneves a prize there's that tire that's good news that tire that was hit you see it down there he's a little worried that he might climb the fence and I'm glad to see graham Ray Hall came out for their own means, but who hit that tire, you know what this does guys, this resets the whole fuel problem because now I think everyone is going to go in and refill again.

I would think not, they just made a stop, so I think only if you're in the back like Rossi, Dixon and Connor Daley is the one who will answer your question, Lee, and I think he might be fine. I just don't know if that leading lead plane is going to stop Graeme. Ray Hall can't believe it, he knew he had a potentially race-winning car. This is the pit stop, so Rahul let him and the Lanigan team go to work like they do at United Rentals Honda, grabbing a tear from the arrow screen. Everything is there. it's going normal wait a second wait this is not a graham ray hall mistake i don't think the left here was tight yes i think the wheel came off and that's why it was hit look it's not his fault at all he did it oh my gosh , and then that tire rolled into the middle of the track, bounced off the wall right in Connor Daley's path and hit him like a football, nothing Graham Ray Hall could do, we thought he had lost it and no He did it, he just lost his left. back now look at this here you're going to see boom and that's um without the arrow screen the potential for that to be catastrophic is very high with conor daly terrified i mean graham is still just can't believe what happened he had the car They had the position, they saved the fuel, just an absolute punch in the gut, the biggest race in the world, complete cleanup and it's time to bring the action here at the Indianapolis 500, Chip Ganassi's Spanish star, Alex, winner of the season opener, leads the field to green. but look at the orange and black chevy in third place here comes the duck prize for elio castroneves castroneves harvey inside the wheel of willpower the wheel in two willpower runs a little high he's going to lose another position to james hinchcliffe james hitchcock now tries to recruit up on the back of jack harvey but his teammate at the front the rowing prize now slips into second place listen to the roar of the crowd as helio castroneves chases his fourth win further back all action prize for the leadership these young Mexicans don't delay that's how he won his only Indycar race a couple of weeks ago at the Texas Motor Speedway, straight to the front and took off, there's the blue and white machine, oh, hello to the leader, Castroneves It goes to second place within my neighborhood.

I'll tell you what this makes now double point Scott Dixon now goes from first to fifth in the championship 72 points behind his teammate number 10 Alex Pillow now who's in the lead let's see how the Potter award mixes up after that pit stop the back immediately, a bunch of cars fighting for position with oh we have willpower back in the simon pagino pit box, tell you what I was going to say, these last two stops are the critical stops If you make a mistake now. pit road or you have problems entering or exiting the pits your race is practically over now the willpower is backwards far below his pit box this is over for him now omg what happened today on pit road first stephen wilson look at this so we saw scott mclaughlin almost miss the prize and paulo, the two winners for the first time this year, in turn one, which is a battle for 12th place right now, but we think it could be the battle for the lead after everyone else pits, so these are the first runners, castroneves. there in the third prize I put on that black and orange card, take a look at this, look at a room, thinking about it again, come back to the front, fastest lap of the race, I page on that lap, 223.7 miles per hour, it's absolutely flying right now. and has more fuel, newer tires than the others.

He pitted for the last time on lap 176. Hello inside Elio again, nothing new, here comes Pagino inside McLaughlin, if they were smart with McLaughlin out of fuel he lets it pass so Pagino is now in the mix you see Félix Rosenquist coming to pit road, he gives up the lead now just tucummased on that strategy while Helio Castroneves goes for the lead, I think this is exactly where you want to be right now if you're under the cities and I think I want to sit here until there are two laps left, let Castroneves take you and set it up, see what his moves will be.

Five laps left to see your outside. Here we have team cars that could help your teammates win the most important race. in the world, oh yes, in his 21st Indy 500, oh yes, Castroneves can do it, I think here we go, here he comes, he comes outside, that is, a bowl, don't lose too much ground, get back in line, get down, take some clean air in your wing. a race, get him ready for the last lap, paul, I think Castroneves has to start driving on the line he doesn't normally run, which is completely on the white line, remove the air from the pillow inwards, don't let it escape. more front grip than you need it's there castroneves oh boy lap traffic is going to become a factor as these show up on these look at that group of lap cars going slow this is going to be crazy god mine, elio castroneves has to make his way here. under maximum pressure I have to set this pillow I just have to back up here and set this out of turn two this is where the last turn out of turn two to the backstretch will happen for the last time can Castro ever sweep his way? with a move that ryan hunter ray made on him many years ago he stays behind rhr now look at the crowd they know history is at stake welcome to the four time club elliot wow look he choked in the bottom lane on the last lap of the final corner to knock the air out of his pillow and claim his fourth victory and he did it in the most audacious way, possibly going outside thanks for watching, be sure to subscribe to receive the latest nascar news and
