Marcus Ericsson of Chip Ganassi Racing entered the race as the defending winner.^[5][6] 2013 Indianapolis 500 winner and 2004 series champion Tony Kanaan announced that he would retire after the race.^[7] Álex Palou won the pole position for the race, his first pole at Indianapolis and the eighth for the Chip Ganassi Racing team. Palou's qualifying speed of 234.217 mph (376.936 km/h) set a new record for fastest pole speed for the Indianapolis 500, besting the speed that his teammate Scott Dixon had set the previous year. The run also replaced Dixon's as the second-fastest qualification run at Indianapolis ever.^[8]

Josef Newgarden passed Marcus Ericsson on a frantic restart with half a lap to go following multiple late race incidents to win his first Indianapolis 500. It was the third Indy 500 in history with a last lap pass for the win (the others being 2006 and 2011), and the first with a one-lap shootout to the finish since 1997. It was also the first Indianapolis 500 since 1973 to have the red flag put out three times and first time race was red-flagged three times in history of IndyCar Series under this title.^[9] Roger Penske (owner of Team Penske) collected his record-extending 19th Indianapolis 500 victory as an owner, and first Indy victory since purchasing the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in late 2019.

Race background

The Pagoda, the control tower which houses officials, broadcasting, and hospitality suites, is an icon at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.^[10]

Sponsorship

On May 25, 2022, it was announced that online financial services company Gainbridge reached a multiyear agreement to extend their presenting sponsorship of the Indianapolis 500.^[11] The extension was for an undisclosed length. This will be the first year under the current deal.^[12] Gainbridge originally signed a four-year deal which was in place from 2019 to 2022.^[13]

Rule changes

• Championship points for the Indianapolis 500 will revert to standard point values.^[14] From 2014 to 2022, double points were awarded at the Indianapolis 500.^[15] Bonus points awarded during qualifying remain unchanged from 2022.
• New rear attenuators,^[16] rear wheel tethers,^[17] and new front suspension pieces^[18] have been introduced and made mandatory.
• New aerodynamic devices have been approved for use, including additional Gurney flaps, and bargeboards. Maximum allowed rear wing angles have been increased from 2° to 5° of positive inclination by use of a new mounting pillar, and an updated cockpit helmet surround will be used.^[19]
• The modified Two-day Qualifying format used in 2022 will remain in place, with one minor schedule change. On the second day (Sunday May 21), Top 12 Qualifying will start at 2 p.m., followed by Last Chance Qualifying at 4 p.m.^[20] The Firestone Fast Six will begin at 5:15 p.m.
• Previously Last Chance Qualifying took place first, followed by Top 12 Qualifying, then the Fast Six. Placing the Last Chance session between the Top 12 and Fast Six sessions is intended to provide the Fast Six teams with additional time to prepare their cars for the final runs. In addition, it provides over an hour for their engines to cool down and reduce the effects of "heat soak".^[21] Furthermore, participants in the Top 12 session will be allowed two cool down laps after their runs, to aid in the cooling process.^[22]

Testing and rookie orientation

A full-field open test was scheduled on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval for April 20–21, 2023.^[63] Katherine Legge, who has not competed in the race since 2013, took part in an oval re-acclimation test with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing at Texas Motor Speedway on April 3.^[64] Linus Lundqvist, the 2022 Indy Lights champion, also participated in the private oval test at Texas, but did not secure a ride for the Indy 500.^[65]

The rookie orientation test was conducted in three phases. For phase 1, each driver was required to complete ten laps between 205–210 mph (330–338 km/h), while demonstrating satisfactory car control, proper racing line, and safe interaction with other cars on the circuit. The laps do not have to be consecutive. Phase 2 was fifteen laps between 210–215 mph (338–346 km/h), and phase 3 was fifteen laps over 215 mph (346 km/h). Veteran drivers that have not competed in an IndyCar oval race since the previous year's Indy 500 are required to take a refresher test. The refresher test consists of phase 2 and phase 3 of the aforementioned rookie test.

Open Test—Thursday April 20

Josef Newgarden set the fastest lap during the Open Test.

• Weather: 84 °F (29 °C), Mostly cloudy with rain in early afternoon, partly cloudy and high winds later
• Summary: The first day of testing was divided into three sessions: first a veterans-only session beginning at 10:00 a.m., second the rookie and refresher session beginning at 12:00 p.m., and lastly a full-field session at 2:00 p.m. lasting until 6:30 p.m. The timing of the sessions were brought forward and extended due to a threat of poor weather both late Thursday and on Friday. During the veterans-only session to start to day, defending race winner Marcus Ericsson was the fastest, running a lap at 224.330 mph (361.024 km/h).^[66]

At 12:00 p.m., the track opened for drivers requiring rookie orientation or refresher tests. All drivers needing these tests took to the track except R. C. Enerson. Later in the day, Enerson was officially announced as the 34th entry with Abel Motorsports, and would conduct his rookie/refresher test during May.^[67] The rookie/refresher session was cut short by roughly thirty minutes due to light rain. However, all drivers completed their tests except Agustín Canapino, who needed to finish the final lap of his rookie orientation run. IndyCar officials permitted his to complete the test during the full-field session. Marco Andretti turned the fastest lap in the rookie/refresher session at 221.569 mph (356.581 km/h). The session was briefly halted for a tow-in for Katherine Legge, who ran out of fuel and stalled out on track. She was able to continue in the session.^[68]

The full-field session was slightly delayed by the rain, but drivers were still provided over four hours of track time. During the session, Canapino completed his rookie test, meaning that all drivers present needing their rookie/refresher tests successfully completed. With predictions that Friday's testing would likely be canceled by rain, drivers turned a large number of laps during the day, with a cumulative 3,522 laps being run among all drivers. Josef Newgarden turned the fastest lap of the day at 227.686 mph (366.425 km/h). The fastest "no-tow" lap - a lap completed without the aid of aerodynamic drafting - went to Devlin DeFrancesco with a lap at 221.119 mph (355.857 km/h). No major incidents occurred during the session, but Katherine Legge suffered a second mechanical issue with less than five minutes remaining that forced her to coast back to the pit lane in the warm-up lane between turns 3 and 4.^[69]

Enerson was the only participant in the Rookie session, where he successfully completed his orientation phases.^[73] The track was opened to all competitors at 12 p.m. Takuma Sato turned the fastest lap of the day, running at 229.439 mph (369.246 km/h). Rinus VeeKay turned the fastest "no-tow" lap of the day at 223.212 mph (359.225 km/h). No major incidents occurred during the day.^[74] Graham Rahal had the only wall contact of the day. At about 12:49 p.m., he drifted high exiting turn three, and brushed the outside wall with the right side of the car. Damage on Rahal's car was minimal. Late in the session, at 5:28 p.m., Ed Carpenter was going slow along the inside of the backstretch, heading for the warm-up lane. Scott McLaughlin was on his outside, and Ryan Hunter-Reay was coming up quickly behind. Hunter-Reay diced precariously between the two cars, narrowly avoiding a collision.

Fast Friday—Friday May 19

• Weather: 80 °F (27 °C), Mostly cloudy with gusty winds.
• Summary: For Friday practice, teams increased turbo boost pressures to their qualifying levels of 1.5 bar (22 psi), resulting in higher speeds. Takuma Sato ran both the single fastest lap and the fastest four-lap average - a simulation of a qualifying run - running the single fastest lap at 234.753 miles per hour (377.798 km/h) and a four lap average of 233.413 miles per hour (375.642 km/h).^[76] No major incidents occurred during the session, however two entries suffered major mechanical problems. Juncos Hollinger Racing made the decision to switch Callum Ilott's car to a back-up chassis midway through the session after struggling with the handling of the car for all previous practice sessions, stating that the handling was so poor that it was unsafe to drive.^[77] At roughly 5:45 p.m., Jack Harvey suffered an apparent engine failure, bringing out a caution period for the session.^[76]

Overnight, it was reported that both Scott Dixon and Álex Palou underwent engine changes. In addition, Callum Ilott's crew completed work on their back-up chassis. All three would be ready for Saturday morning practice.

Time trials

Saturday, May 20

Felix Rosenqvist was the fastest qualifier on Saturday

• Weather: 66 °F (19 °C), Fair with winds up to 16 mph (26 km/h)
• Summary: Time trials on Saturday locked in positions 13th–30th. Cars qualifying 1st–12th advanced to the Top 12 Qualifying session on Sunday. Cars qualifying 31st–34th took part in the Last Chance Qualifying session on Sunday to determine the final row of the starting grid.

Qualifications began at 11:00 a.m. and lasted until 5:50 p.m. All drivers were given one guaranteed run during the day, with the guaranteed qualifying order based on a random draw the night before. Felix Rosenqvist turned the fastest speed of the first day of qualifications, running a four lap average of 233.947 mph (376.501 km/h) on his 2nd attempt with roughly an hour left in qualifications. Teammate Alexander Rossi qualified 2nd during the day at 233.528 mph (375.827 km/h). The only notable incident during qualification came during rookie Agustín Canapino's second attempt, where he made contact with the wall in turn 1 and bent the rear suspension of his car.^[78]

With 34 entries in the race, only the top 30 cars were locked into the field on Saturday, with the last four needing to go out on Sunday in the Last Chance Qualifying session to determine positions 31st-33rd. Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing performed poorly during Saturday qualifications, with three of their four entries failing to make the top 30 and being forced into the Last Chance Qualifying.^[79] Dale Coyne Racing's entries also struggled during the session with both Sting Ray Robb and David Malukas being outside the top 30 for most of the day. However, Malukas was able to find speed with less than 10 minutes remaining in the session to qualify 23rd. Robb was unable to qualify fast enough to make the top 30. Callum Ilott, who had changed chassis the previous day, qualified 28th on his second attempt during the day. R. C. Enerson, who had been considered a pre-race favorite to not make the race, qualified 29th and locked himself into the race.^[78]

Katherine Legge ended the day "on the bubble" surviving a last-minute bumping attempt by her teammate Christian Lundgaard. Legge set an Indy 500 qualifying speed record for female drivers (231.070 mph (371.871 km/h)), and was the last car locked-in to the field.^[80] A. J. Foyt Racing teammates Santino Ferrucci and Benjamin Pedersen both made the Top 12, the first time the Foyt team has made the pole "shootout" since its inception in 2010. Pedersen also set a one-lap rookie qualifying record (233.297 mph (375.455 km/h)).

Last Chance Qualifying

Graham Rahal was bumped from the field and failed to qualify

• Summary: The Last Chance Qualifying session was delayed by five minutes, opening at 4:05 p.m. and lasting until 5:05 p.m. The session determined positions 31–33 for the starting grid and which car would not qualify. Each car was given one guaranteed attempt, with subsequent attempts allowed but requiring the withdrawal of a previous attempt. After the guaranteed runs, Jack Harvey was the slowest of the drivers in the session. After the initial failure to reach the top 33, Harvey made two more attempts. Harvey's third attempt came as time expired during the session, during which Harvey qualified fast enough to bump his teammate Graham Rahal out of the field, meaning that Rahal would not start the race. Rahal's failure to qualify came thirty years after his father Bobby Rahal failed to qualify for the 1993 race.^[82]

Race report

• Weather: 80 °F (27 °C), Mostly cloudy

First half

The cars on the sixth row of the starting grid: #20 Conor Daly, #2 Josef Newgarden, #23 Ryan Hunter-Reay

Prior to the race start, Graham Rahal suffered problems with the battery of his car. His crew was able to get the battery changed, but not before two laps of the race had already been completed.^[94]

At the start, Álex Palou took the lead of the race ahead of Rinus VeeKay and Felix Rosenqvist, while Scott Dixon moved into fourth. As the first run progressed, Palou and VeeKay swapped the lead with each other several times. Behind, Dixon began to suffer a vibration in one of his tires after 20 laps, which caused him to drop down to 16th position before finally making a pit stop to change the tires at lap 27. Shortly after, the first round of scheduled pit stops occurred, with the top two runners emerging in the same order, while Santino Ferrucci moved into third. During the pit sequence, Katherine Legge lost control of her car leaving her pit stall, spun, and hit the inside pit wall. Legge attempted to continue in the race for a few more laps, but was ultimately forced to retire after the incident.^[95] The second sequence of pit stops came beginning at lap 60, during which Arrow McLaren teammates Rosenqvist and Pato O'Ward moved into the lead of the race as the result of better fuel mileage than the cars ahead of them. O'Ward and Rosenqvist then swapped the lead with each other during the duration of the stint.^[96]

Sting Ray Robb caused the first caution period of the race after an accident in Turn 1.

The first caution period of the day came at lap 91, when Sting Ray Robb slid wide and crashed into the outside wall of turn 1 after being passed by Graham Rahal. Robb was uninjured in the accident. During the caution, most drivers elected to make pit stops. During the stops, Rinus VeeKay lost control of his car exiting his pit stall and spun, collecting Álex Palou in the process. While both of the early leaders were able to continue in the race, Palou dropped deep in the field after being forced to change the front wing on his car from the damage, while VeeKay received a drive-through penalty for causing the incident. Neither driver led for the remainder of the race. Rosenqvist, O'Ward, and Ferrucci led drivers off of pit lane, while Callum Ilott took the lead of the race by being the only driver not to pit under the caution.^[94]

Second half

Racing resumed on lap 100, with Rosenqvist and O'Ward passing Ilott immediately to take the lead of the race again. Further behind, Marcus Ericsson and Josef Newgarden had excellent restarts, moving forward several spots to take fifth and sixth respectively. After a few laps, action calmed again and Rosenqvist and O'Ward resumed their swapping of the lead. With the previous pit stop coming with awkward timing for strategy, the pace of the race slowed greatly as teams tried to reach their target fuel window, with laps being turned at only 207 mph (333 km/h) for several laps.^[96] Pits stops came again starting at lap 132. Rosenqvist emerged as the leader, but O'Ward suffered a slow stop that dropped him back. Newgarden and Ericsson emerged from the pits second and third, but both passed Rosenqvist shortly after, and Ericsson then passed Newgarden for the lead. Alexander Rossi moved to fourth place, while Santino Ferrucci ran fifth. During the pit stops, an incident occurred in the pit lane when Colton Herta left his stall while Romain Grosjean was entering his, causing the two to collide. Both continued in the race, though losing significant time.^[94]

The second caution period of the race came on lap 149, when Romain Grosjean lost control of his car in turn 2 and impacted the outside wall.^[97] During the caution, some cars chose to pit, most notably Pato O'Ward, who had problems refueling his car on the previous pit stop and so required an extra stop compared to the cars around him. Racing resumed at lap 156, with Newgarden taking the lead from Ericsson before both were passed by Ferrucci one lap later. Rosenqvist and Rossi ran fifth and sixth, while Kyle Kirkwood moved himself to sixth and Álex Palou moved to seventh after recovering from his earlier incident. The running order remained roughly the same until the start of the final round of pit stops starting at lap 169. Ferrucci lost time after a tire rolled out from his pit box during his stop; he avoided any time penalty for the infraction. Ericsson emerged the leader of the group that pitted, with Rosenqvist and Newgarden behind. Leading the race were the drivers who had pitted during the caution, with O'Ward leading until lap 180, when he pitted. O'Ward emerged from the pits in third place, and quickly moved past both Rosenqvist and Ericsson to be first of the cars not needing any more pit stops.^[94]

First red flag

Josef Newgarden during the race.

On lap 184, Josef Newgarden passed Felix Rosenqvist entering turn 1. Rosenqvist slid wide in the wake of Newgarden's car and impacted the outside wall. Rosenqvist attempted to retain control of the car, but lost control entering turn two and spun. As he spun backwards onto the racing surface, Rosenqvist collected Kyle Kirkwood, which completely dislodged the left-rear tire on Kirkwood's car. Kirkwood impacted the outside wall in turn 2 heavily, with the impact causing the car to flip over and slide to a halt upside down. Neither Rosenqvist nor Kirkwood were injured in the accident. During the incident, the dislodged tire from Kirkwood's car was launched above the catch-fencing outside of turn 2 and out of the race track. The tire went over a grandstand and landed on the left front end of a Chevrolet Cruze that was parked in a lot between two sections of seating outside turn two. Robin Matthews, the owner of the damaged car, received a tour of the speedway as compensation.^{[98][99][100]} On June 1, four days after the race, Indianapolis Motor Speedway management announced that they would be presenting Matthews with a new car.^[101]

With the circuit needing significant cleanup from the accident, IndyCar officials halted the race with the red flag with 14 laps to go. This was done to provide an opportunity to finish the race under green, and to not waste too many laps circulating under the yellow flag. Ryan Hunter-Reay held the lead at the time of the red flag, but he along with Callum Ilott and Agustín Canapino would need to pit as soon as the race resumed.^[96]

Second red flag

O'Ward leading the race

The race resumed under caution on lap 187. The three cars at the front needing a pit stop did so immediately, handing the lead to Pato O'Ward. The field was preparing to go back to green with 9 laps to go. However, the officials deemed that O'Ward was taking the field down too slowly, and waved off the restart by an extra lap.

Green flag racing resumed on lap 193 (8 laps to go), with Newgarden and Ericsson passing O'Ward heading into turn one. O'Ward attempted to pass Ericsson back at turn three, but lost control of his car, spun several times and impacted the outside wall. O'Ward's accident caused a chain of accidents behind. Scott McLaughlin collided with Simon Pagenaud as the field slowed to avoid O'Ward, which sent Pagenaud into the outside wall while McLaughlin suffered damage to the nose of his car. Agustín Canapino was forced into the grass trying to avoid McLaughlin, causing him to lose control of his car and also hit the wall. After the initial impact, Canapino's car was damaged to the point where he could no longer steer or slow it. As a result, Canapino hit the already stricken car of O'Ward, causing Canapino to briefly become airborne. None of the drivers involved were injured in the accident.^[102]

The leaders crossed the start/finish line, accepting the yellow with 7 laps to go. With another major cleanup needed, IndyCar officials again decided to put the red flag out again. The next time by, the field was parked in the pits under red. At the time of the second red, Newgarden led Ericsson with Santino Ferrucci third.^[94]

Third red flag and finish

Benjamin Pedersen's damaged car after the Lap 196 accident.

The cars rolled from the pit with six laps to go. After two laps under yellow, the green came out with four laps to go. Ericsson immediately passed Newgarden, but another accident occurred just as Ericsson moved ahead. As cars exited turn four coming to the green flag, a five- car accident involving Christian Lundgaard, Ed Carpenter, Benjamin Pedersen, Graham Rahal, and Marco Andretti occurred, bringing out another caution period. IndyCar officials made the decision to red flag the race for a third time - the first time in Indianapolis 500 history that three late-race red flags occurred. As the red flag came with only two laps remaining in the race, officials decided that the race would restart as soon as cars reached the start finish line again for the final lap.^[96]

Newgarden in victory lane with Roger Penske after winning

The cars rolled from the pits one last time with two laps remaining. This provided them with just one lap to warm up their car and warm up their tires. The first time around racing resumed with the green flag and white flag flying together. It was the final lap with Ericsson getting an initial jump on Newgarden going into turn one. Newgarden was able to catch up to Ericsson and made a slingshot pass for the lead down the backstraight. He stayed in front for the remainder of the lap to win, securing his first Indianapolis 500 victory in his 12th start in the event. Newgarden's victory was the first for an American driver since 2016, while it was the 19th Indianapolis 500 victory for Team Penske. After winning, Newgarden stopped on the front straight, climbed from his car, then climbed through a gap in the catch fencing to celebrate with fans before returning for the official celebration ceremony in the winners circle.^{[94][96][103]} In winning, Newgarden became the first driver from Tennessee to take victory in the 500.^[104] Newgarden earned $3.666 million for winning from a record purse of $17,021,500.^[105] As well, his win made Caitlyn Brown, his left-front tire changer, the first known woman to be part of an over-the-wall tire-changing pit crew for a driver while that driver won the Indy 500.^[106] Second-place finisher Marcus Ericsson became the first defending winner to finish second since Hélio Castroneves in 2003. Santino Ferrucci in third place achieved his career best finish in the race and achieved the best finish for A. J. Foyt Racing since 2000.^[104] Despite being involved in the final accident, Benjamin Pedersen was the highest finishing rookie in the race in 21st and was named Rookie of the Year for 2023.^[105]

The decision to red flag the race for a one-lap run to the finish was met with criticism from runner-up finisher Marcus Ericsson, who called the ruling "unfair and dangerous" and cited that IndyCar had never done a restart in that way any time prior.^[107] Other competitors, such as 3rd place finisher Santino Ferrucci and 16th place finisher Tony Kanaan felt that IndyCar's decision was the correct one, citing complaints from previous editions of the race about ending under caution periods.^[108]

Broadcasting

Television

The race was televised on NBC and Peacock Premium in the United States.^[109] Mike Tirico and Danica Patrick returned for pre-race and post-race coverage, as they had together since 2019. Leigh Diffey, Townsend Bell, and James Hinchcliffe were the booth announcers for the race.^[110] Two additional hours of pre-race coverage on race day morning was carried exclusively on Peacock.^[111]

On May 8, 2023, it was confirmed that, in line with longstanding policy that had been suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic, the live broadcast would be blacked-out in the Indianapolis area on both local television and Peacock, marking the first Indy 500 local blackout since the 2019 Indianapolis 500.^[112]
