Rosenqvist's Historic Indy 500 Win

Felix Rosenqvist won the Indianapolis 500 with the smallest margin of victory in history, beating his teammate Marcus Armstrong by 0.0233 seconds.

This historic win marks Meyer Shank Racing's first Indy 500 triumph since Al Unser Jr.'s victory in 1992.

Rosenqvist's achievement is all the more impressive considering he was only 20 days into fatherhood after welcoming baby daughter Stella with his wife Emille.

The Indy 500 is one of the most iconic events in motorsports, with Rosenqvist's win cementing his place among the all-time greats.
