Talking Sam Hornish Jr. wins 90th Indianapolis 500 w/ Andrettis 2nd and 3rd

It was the second closest finish in Indy 500 history. Sam beat rookie Marco Andretti who finished second and Michael Andretti who finished third.

Marco qualified 9th and Michael qualified 13th.

Best Indy 500 I've ever seen...could only have been better if Marco or Michael had hung on in the end.

I think races like this and Marco will do wonders for the IRL's ratings.

Hornish became the first driver in Indy 500 history to win with a last-lap pass.

The 90th Indy 500 was Marco's fourth IRL start.
