Indy 500: Ed Carpenter Appears To Curse Out Takuma Sato After Day-Ending Crash

Ed Carpenter spun into the wall on Lap 27 after an inside move appeared to be blocked by Takuma Sato, then angrily shouted at Sato during the caution.
Carpenter was uninjured and cleared from medical, but his bid for a first Indy 500 win ended early — he started 13th and was out of the race.
The 45-year-old was making his 23rd Indy 500 start (only race he’s entered this season), while Sato is a two-time Indy 500 winner (2017, 2020).

Formula 1 returns to Montreal this weekend for the Canadian Grand Prix at the fast, notoriously unpredictable Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
Mercedes and Andrea Kimi Antonelli have dominated—Antonelli leads the championship after three straight wins and has podiumed in every race.
George Russell grabbed pole with a massive lap and, as last year’s Montreal winner, is a big threat—will Antonelli’s streak hold or can Russell defend his title in Montreal?

Katherine Legge is the first woman attempting "The Double" — racing the Indy 500 (No. 11 Chevy for HMD/A.J. Foyt) and then the Coca-Cola 600 (No. 78 Live Fast Chevy) on the same day.
It's a tight logistical challenge: the Indy 500 averages about three hours, she likely must leave Indianapolis between 4–5 p.m. ET to reach Charlotte for the 6 p.m. start, and weather can easily wreck the plan.
Historically rare feat — five drivers have tried the Memorial Day Double and only Tony Stewart ever completed all 1,100 miles (Kyle Larson's 2024 and 2025 attempts were foiled).

Indiana coach Curt Cignetti served as the honorary pace car driver for the 110th Indianapolis 500, leading the 33-car field in a custom USA-themed Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X (1,250 hp, top speeds around 233 mph) before peeling off into the pits.
In under two years Cignetti turned Indiana into a national power—taking the Hoosiers to a 2024 CFP appearance and a 16‑0, 2025 national championship—making him one of the state’s most recognizable sports figures.
His pace‑car role joins a long list of celebrity drivers (Michael Strahan, Danica Patrick, Jim Harbaugh, etc.), a fun crossover moment between college football fame and Indy 500 tradition.
