What is your favorite indy 500 moment?

Danica Patrick leading the Indy 500 in 2005

Danny Sullivan dives low through turn one on lap 120 to grab the lead from Mario Andretti, only to have the tail slide out as he exits the turn. He spins around one and a quarter times across the south %u201Cshort chute%u201D as Andretti dives to the inside to successfully avert a collision. Miraculously, Sullivan completely avoids hitting the wall, recovers from the spin and then makes his way around to the pits for a change of tires. None of the drivers can believe what they have seen, and tire engineers are amazed to discover the tires bear no flat spots. Twenty laps later, Sullivan passes Andretti again, in exactly the same place, and this time is successful.

Favorite IMS moment

Indy 500: Danica leading the race in 2005.

NASCAR: tie between Juan Pablo Montoya's choking of winning the 2009 Allstate 400 at the Brickyard, and the saddest but yet funny moment when Jeff Burton killed a bird in the 2008 Goodyear blown tire 400 aka the 2008 Allstate 400, that race sucked so bad, that even the birds committed suicide.

Danica In the lead take that boys is #2 on my list

#1 is when Scott goodyear started 33rd on the grid and missed by a width of a nose cone wining the race

Nascar

#1 any question Earnhardt wuins

#2 Tony lying on the concret barrier after he finallly won at his home track

Scott Speed's Debut at the Brickyard 400 in 2009 although finished 31st its still my favorite moment

I'm goin with Of Mice n Men's answer, Scott Speed is awesome.

But if I had to be original, I'd say that it would be Bill Vukovich winning back in '54.

1966.. Victory Lane.. Graham Hill takes the traditional swig from the milk bottle, realizes what it it is, makes a funny face, and spits it out (he's used to champagne).. He then grabs the trophy girl, and proceeds to make out with her.. Not just kiss her.. Make out with her.. lol It was awesome..

when nascar announced they were going to race there.

1995 Dale Earnhardt's only Brickyard win

2009 Helio Castroneves' win after being found not guilty of allegations of federal tax fraud
