Official Release

The Indianapolis 500 purse record was shattered for the third year in a row after a weather-delayed 108th Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge, with two-time race winner Josef Newgarden of Team Penske earning $4.288 million from a total purse of $18,456,000.

The 2024 running of the Coca-Cola 600 was shortened Sunday night to just shy of 250 laps after inclement weather moved into the Concord area.

Josef Newgarden joined the immortals Sunday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway by becoming just the sixth driver to win the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge in two consecutive years, edging Pato O’Ward in a scintillating race that included the start delayed four hours by a midday rainstorm.

Josef Newgarden, driver of the No. 2 Shell Team Penske Chevrolet, raced to victory in the 108th Running of the Indianapolis 500 to capture Chevrolet’s 13th in history and sixth in the 2.2-liter twin turbo V6 era since 2012.

Christopher Bell dominated much of Sunday's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, and was rewarded with the winner's trophy when the race was declared official after 249 of 400 laps due to inclement weather.

Austin Cindric, driver of the No. 2 Menards/Duracell Ford Mustang, finished 20th in the rain-shortened Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway Sunday evening.

This was Haley’s fourth NASCAR Cup Series start at Charlotte. His best finish remains 15th, earned in May 2023.

Historical and event notes from the 108th Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge at Indianapolis Motor Speedway:

Christopher Bell was the leader when the rain and lightning came at lap 249 of the Coke 600, and despite NASCAR’s valiant effort to dry Charlotte Motor Speedway, the race was unable to continue, and Bell was declared the winner.
