Rookie pulls off stunning upset in 100th Indy 500
Only three men have ever won both the Indianapolis 500 and the Monaco Grand Prix, and Alexander Rossi is halfway to becoming the fourth after the rookie scored an unlikely win at The Brickyard on Sunday.
Better known in Formula One circles than the IndyCar circuit before Sunday, Rossi will now be forever remembered as the winner of the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500, his likeness engraved onto the Borg Warner Trophy alongside a host of motor racing greats like Jim Clark, Graham Hill, Mario Andretti, Emerson Fittipaldi and AJ Foyt.
