Pato O'Ward has improved his Indy 500 finishes in each of the last three years, and we're expecting another strong finish from the young driver in 2023. Find out how to take advantage in Eric_RaceReview'a Indy 500 betting preview below.
Starting position is everything here. In 2019, Simon Pagenaud became the first pole winner to win the Indy 500 since 2009. Will Power won from third in 2018, Takuma Sato started fourth in his 2017 win and third in 2020, while Helio Castroneves was eighth in 2021, and Marcus Ericsson fifth a year ago. That's six straight years with the winner coming from the Top 3 rows, including five of the six from a Top-5 starting position to boot.
In regards to who can win from those starting spots, remember this: Ganassi, Penske, and Andretti have combined to win 14 of the last 18 Indy 500s and 18 of the last 23 since 2000. RLL is the outlier: they took two of the Top 3 spots in 2020 and have won two of the five the Big 3 didn’t win since 2000.
2021 was the first time in 10 years that a part-time driver won the Indy 500. Dan Wheldon did so in thrilling fashion that day in 2011 which came 10 years prior to Helio Castroneves joining the 4-win club last year. Wheldon’s win came 10 years after the last . Can one of the talented drivers on this list do so this year?
