Josef Newgarden's Indy 500 race is over with 25th-place finish
The 34-year-old Tennessean finishes 25th after starting from the last row on the 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval. He suffered a fuel pressure issue after a Lap 133 pit stop.

"Tried to be methodical," Newgarden told the Fox broadcast. "I just wish we had a chance to fight for it."
He had steadily improved his race position after starting 32nd: 10th at Lap 80 and 6th at Lap 130.
Newgarden held back as the green flag flew, careful to avoid any issues with cars ahead. He worked his into the upper half of the field by Lap 50.
His car failed inspection during second-day qualifying, and IndyCar star sent him — after qualifying for the Fast 12 the previous day — to the back row, along with Team Penske teammate Will Power.
Has anyone won the Indianapolis 500 three straight years?
Five others previously sought a three-peat, with results ranging from tantalizingly close to tragic. Here's how those drivers fared.
No one had a better opportunity to win three straight Indy 500s. Castroneves won his rookie and second seasons at IMS, then qualified for the pole in 2003.

Just one thing stood in his way: Penske teammate Gil de Ferran, who won by 0.22 seconds over runner-up Castroneves.
Castroneves is seeking a record fifth Indy 500 win in 2025. He shares the all-time victories lead with A.J. Foyt, Al Unser and Rick Mears.
Unser started the 1972 race 19th and crossed the finish line in 3rd place, though Mark Donahue dominated the field, winning by more than 3 minutes.
The morning after the race, officials penalized the runner-up, Jerry Grant, for taking on fuel late in the wrong from the wrong pit stall. That moved Unser up to 2nd.
Vukovich started the 1955 from the 5th position and led 50 of the first 56 laps before being killed in a Lap 57 crash involving five drivers.
Rose was not a factor in 1949, starting 10th and finishing 13th.
The three-time race champ crashed in 1941 while leading on Lap 152, suffering a back injury and getting drenched in fuel from his ruptured gas tank.

The Speedway didn't host any races from 1942-45 because of World War II, and Shaw never raced there again.

Court Reinstates Convictions in International Soccer Corruption Case
A federal appeals court on Wednesday reinstated the convictions of a former Fox employee and an Argentine marketing company for paying millions in bribes to secure coveted broadcast rights to soccer tournaments. In a 32-page ruling, a panel of judges from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit wrote that another judge, Pamela K. Chen of Federal District Court in Brooklyn, had erred in overturning the 2023 convictions of the former Fox employee, Hernán López, and the marketing company, Full Play Group. The decision was a victory for Brooklyn prosecutors in a case that arose from the Justice Department's sprawling investigation into corruption by international soccer officials. The affair was revealed by a series of high-profile arrests in Switzerland a decade ago. Prosecutors accused Mr. López, who worked for a unit of what was then known as 21st Century Fox, of scheming to secure the rights to two South American tournaments by making secret payments to the presidents of national soccer federations. Prosecutors also said that Mr. López, a dual American and Argentine citizen, had illicitly helped Fox beat out ESPN for the U.S. broadcasting rights for the 2018 and 2022 men's World Cups by using 'loyalty secured through the payment of bribes.' Fox, which was never accused of wrongdoing, has denied the government's claims. John Gleeson, a lawyer for Mr. López, said he planned to appeal to the Supreme Court. He added in a statement that he had 'no doubt that our client will eventually be fully vindicated.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
