The Indy 500 just wrapped up after what some might call a pretty exciting race on that famous track in Indianapolis. SunSport is here to give you the lowdown on how each driver finished in this crazy race.

Talking about the prize money, it seems like the winner’s purse has been on the rise in recent years. In 2023, Newgarden took home $3.666 million for his win, and that number went up to $4.288 million in 2024. If he manages to win again, he might get a little extra cash as a repeat winner bonus. Organizers usually keep the purse details under wraps until after the race, but there’s a good chance that Newgarden might end up with a slightly bigger bag of cash compared to the others. All drivers can expect at least $3.8 million, assuming there are no changes from last year and no rollover bonuses. Helio Castroneves held the record for the biggest prize money in 2009 with $3.048 million, but Ericsson broke that record in 2022 with $3.1 million before Newgarden’s winnings came into play.
