Felix Rosenqvist seized the Indianapolis 500 title after a last‑gasp pass at the finish line. On Sunday, he moved outside David Malukas, then slipped past Team Penske’s David Malukas to win the closest IndyCar race ever by 0.0233 seconds. The win marks his second career victory in 120 starts coming into his first season as a father today.

Rosenqvist’s dramatic move unfolded after Marcus Armstrong, his teammate, pulled ahead on the final restart. The Swedish driver drew even with Armstrong on the back straight, then used a slight power edge to out‑maneuver him before making a decisive outside pass on the last 50 feet. The finish eclipsed the 1992 margin of 0.043 seconds in history.

Rosenqvist, who recently welcomed his first child, reflected on the victory with humility. “I still don’t believe it, becoming a dad and winning the 500,” he said, adding that the team’s support had been crucial. Malukas, meanwhile, admitted the race was the fastest he’d run, noting it pushed him to 150 percent effort for the season.

The victory crowns Rosenqvist as the third Swedish driver to claim the Indy 500 and solidifies Meyer Shank Racing’s competitive edge in the season. With a razor‑thin margin, the race reaffirms the championship’s unpredictability, while Malukas vows another aggressive push next year. Fans now anticipate how the new champion will perform in the remaining races ahead.
