I have to respect this video because it shows the original ABC coverage of the finish of the 1992 Indy500 where for the first and last time ABC wanted to give an overhead shot of the finish and it was obscured by the flags. When this race airs on a replay ESPN would give the traditional head on shot
Better add 2024 to this list. 2 lead changes on lap 199. Probably the best last lap in history. At least for my and in my life time watching this race since 1976.
Before Grosean wrecked and made it end under caution, Texas 2023 was an insanely awesome race! And then it’s not happening this year!? Real shame. Need just like 1-2 more ovals and it’ll be a great mix
@@extragoogleaccount6061 it’s not even happening next year, or 2026 cuz they rather (it’s a rumor) go to San Antonio for another street race nobody asked for🙄 Also 1-2 more ovals? That’s a bit low. 3 or 4 more and then we have a good (realistic) balance
That is one of the absolute best finishes of a race I have ever seen. What a drive from Hornish. It's a shame that the commentators focus on the win being close and not being a brilliant drive from Hornish. He learned his lesson going into turn three on the penultimate lap, and did not do that on the last lap to get a run on Andretti jr on the sprint to the line. Apart from that. Here is a very cool four last laps with mexican commentators: th-cam.com/video/FZGIvBIlfM8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JXOlbKuDQYjtYAo8 I think you'll like it.
That 1982 finish just gives me goosebumpbs every single time. Jim and Sam were absolutely on it, and given the controversy of 1981, well....Oh, 1982...that gives me goosebumps every single time. Every. Single. Time. Say what you want about Jim McKay and Sam Posey, but they were absolutely
Al Unser Jr.'s races are my earliest "permanent" Indy 500 memories...just realized how fortunate I was to have experienced the 2000's as a lifelong fan of the event...thanks for this...
also is there a reason why IndyCar uses IMS Radio during the ESPN/ABC days of the Indy 500 and IndyCar on various videos and not full races? (Well except the 2015 clip) It has been like this for a decade and a half and I have been curious why? Licensing? Or?
Judging by the amount of photo finishes in may from the Kentucky derby and the advent health 400 I wouldn’t be surprised if the Indy 500 ended in a photo finish
That may have been one of the best moments and best races, but the _finish_ wasn't that good--Danny Sullivan was just too far ahead of Mario for the last few laps.

Definitely one for the history books! So glad the fans got that amazing race after dealing with the rain.
Gonna have to add 2024 to this list 👏
moments like the Indy 500 is why we love Indy, and why we want more ovals in this sport!

I love the fact they used the radio call for the 1992 finish, best description of a 500 finish ever
2006 is so heartbreaking. The Andrettis can't even get the win when leading with 100 yards to go

Greatest Finished Indianapolis 500 1982 And 1992 Underrated Photo Finished In My Opinion Thanks For Uploading
Judging by the amount of photo finishes in may from the Kentucky derby and the advent health 400 I wouldn’t be surprised if the Indy 500 ended in a photo finish
Not a photo finish, but the possible greatest final lap ever in 2024
Montoya great driver...
2023 awesome race.
JPM was definitely! And add 2024 to the list of greatest ever finishes!
1960's tech and 2024 tech. The cars are unrecognizable. 145 mph as compared with 231mph. We only see the surface
Danny S and the spin and win..
👍

2006 and 2011 are the best.
it was Tracys
Everyone remember when CART was better than Indy
"World Driving Championship" 😂
What is it with trolls like you?
Half of the video was the wifes...NOBODY CARES!!!
No, it wasn't. Only two of the eleven even showed the wives. They were shown on the live broadcast, and these are directly from the broadcasts.
