A late yellow made fuel mileage a moot point, so when the green flag waved again Helio Castroneves left the field in the dust to the win the 2009 Indianapolis 500. The victory capped a storybook month in which Castroneves was cleared of federal tax evasion charges that could have landed him in prison.
Danica Patrick took home the best Indianapolis 500 finish of her career with a strong third place showing just behind Dan Wheldon.

Great win Helio! Just make sure you don't screw up with the IRS again, otherwise you won't get a shot of running the 500 again. Congrats on this awesome win.
