One day, several months after his Indy 500 win in 2018, Will Power tried to explain just how much the event means for its participants, and how it plays on the mind between races. “It’s easy to look at the list of Indy winners and say, ‘Oh, that’s the year that guy missed out on the win, but a couple of years later he got his revenge.’ When you’re looking at it as history, you’ve got that perspective, right?

Forty-five years ago, on Sunday, May 25, 1980, it conquered the Indianapolis 500. “What that car would let me do was amazing. The only time I had to lift the throttle at Phoenix was crack it just a little to transfer weight to the front for Turns 1 and 2.

Arrow McLaren ace Pato O’Ward says he wouldn’t want to inherit victory in last year’s Indianapolis 500, despite suggestions that he was beaten by a car running in illegal specification. During Sunday’s Fast 12 qualifying session for this year’s Indy 500, the Team Penske-Chevrolets of Newgarden and Will Power went to pitlane with a lightly modified rear attenuator – a part that IndyCar does not allow to be tweaked in any way.

Team Penske-Chevrolet’s Josef Newgarden insists he’s not considering his chance to make Indianapolis 500 history, but is simply focused on winning the 109th edition. On Sunday, May 25, the 34-year-old Tennessean could land the three-peat that has eluded some of the greatest drivers ever to turn a wheel at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Wilbur Shaw achieved a 1-2-1-1 sequence from 1937 to ’40, while both Al Unser and Helio Castroneves – both eventual four-time winners – were able to accomplish 1-1-2.
