Takuma Sato took advantage of a late-race crash to move into contention at the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, scything into third place to finish in the top three for the second time in three years at IndyCar's most prestigious race.
An early problem sent Sato tumbling down the standings, but some stellar strategy by his Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing team, and the crash, got him back into the race. Sato did the rest, making up four places during the final 22 laps.
"It was an amazing job from the team, really, once we got a lap down," said the veteran former Formula One driver who won the Indy 500 in 2017.
