Marco passing Michael is an all time moment
Sam Hornish Jr. was an absolute beast on ovals during this time.

Hornish was the undisputed king of the winning pass at the start/finish line in the IRL days. this race was one of first times that a legit IRL racer won this thing after the CART teams came back to Indy. Really was a clash of styles. Ift the ABA gave the NBA the 3 point line. The IRL gave indycar the last lap pass at indy. It was wild to watch.
What a finish that was to a crazy race❤❤

Yes I was in turn one and went nuts when he passed Marco
Number 9?? I've attended the last 30 500's and this is easily in the top 3
Hornish wasn't the most succesful driver but he was the most unique. Those last lap passes were his own signature move.

In nascar he was a struggler, but in IndyCar he was a 3 time champ
It's such a shame Sam Hornish Jr left so early to NASCAR. One of the best oval drivers of all time. Perhaps Newgarden is the only driver nowadays to perform like him on ovals
My friend was at the 2006 race and said after the penalty Sam’s next 25 laps looked lake a balls to the wall qualifying run.
Hopefully NBC puts these in a playlist
My favorite Indy 500 of all-time
Amazing ❤
Unfortunately, MOST unfortunately, this race scarred young Marco Andretti & IMO somewhat derailed what should have been a driving career equalling his famous Father's, Marco was simply never the same behind the wheel after this bitter-bitter defeat. If memory serves, i believe this was Michael's race to lose, until he was involved in a pit road mishap that damaged his front wing & caused his car to push like a dump truck at the end, must have been absolutely gutwrenching for poor Mario watching the end of this one 😖

2006 was the year that I decided if I were ever to smoke, my choice would be Marlboros!
When will modern day announcers learn yelling and speaking so fast the audience can’t follow is a distraction on TV. The excitement is in front of us … on the track, not in the booth… just IMO

I highly doubt that. Hornish’s car was a rocket. Backed off and fell behind with 1 1/2 laps to go, then was able to catch up and take the chequered flag.

Hornish car was the class of the field by 1-2 MPH. only thing that make it close was the mistakes that Hornish kept making. Marco was great that day, I'd say 5 out of 10 times.

@@alexshank1414 Hornish only caught him because Andretti backed out of the throttle slightly in turn 4. If Marco had driven lap 200 like he did lap 199, he would be an Indianapolis 500 champion.
