Josef Newgarden won the 2021 Indianapolis 500, ending a streak of 11 unsuccessful attempts. After a review of the running order at the time the yellow flag waved, race control moved Newgarden to second and he slingshot around reigning race winner Marcus Ericsson on the restart. Newgarden's first win in the Indianapolis 500 was a momentous occasion for him and Team Penske, who had not won since 2017.
