1990 Indianapolis 500

1990 Indianapolis 500

The 1990 Indianapolis 500 was held at Indianapolis on Sunday, May 27, 1990.

Recap

Emerson Fittipaldi runs a blistering pace and sets a record by leading the first 92 consecutive laps. Blistering tires, however, send him to the pits about 30 laps later. Bobby Rahal takes over, looking for his second career Indy victory. During a late pit stop, Rahal's crew puts a set of tires on his car from an earlier segment of the race. The decision proves poor as the car began to suffer ill handling and slows. Arie Luyendyk quickly catches Rahal and takes over the lead, winning the fastest-ever 500, at a speed of 185.981 mph, a record that still stands as of 2008. The victory was Luyendyk's first ever in championship-level competition.
