It came down to two laps, and Marcus Ericsson remained on top to win "the Greatest Spectacle in Racing." Jimmie Johnson crashed with six laps to go in the Indy 500 on Sunday, leading to a red flag with Ericsson leading Pato O'Ward and Chip Ganassi Racing teammate Tony Kanaan by a two-second-plus margin. Instead of crumbling, Ericsson met the challenge. Following the restart, Ericsson crossed the finish line first in the two-lap showdown to become the 2022 Indy 500 winner. He and Kenny Bräck are the only drivers from Sweden to win the race. Ericson, 31, entered Sunday with two career IndyCar wins. Both came in 2021, at Detroit and Nashville, respectively. Six-time IndyCar Series champion Scott Dixon traded the early lead with teammate Alex Palou. But disaster struck for Dixon when he was assessed a pitlane speed violation and his fortunes never recovered. #sports #indycar #indy500
