It was the 97th running of the greatest spectacle of motorsport at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, 102 years after the first time that the 500-mile race was staged at the 2.5-mile superpeedway on May 30, 1911 and won by Ray Harroun after a six hour, 43 minute marathon at an average speed of 74.602mph

The 2013 Indy 500 took only two hours and 40 minutes and Tony Kanaan's victory came with an average speed of 187.433mph, which broke Arie Luyendyk previous 1990 record of 185.981mph - and that was just the first of several new records to be shattered by this year's event.

There were 68 lead changes at the line - double the previous record set just last year of 34 - split between 14 different drivers, breaking the previous high of 12 set back in 1993. And with 27 cars making it to the chequered flag, it beat the previous high of 26 which had stood since the very first race in 1911.

Ed Carpenter led the most laps in this year's race (37) and Simon Pagenaud gained the most positions compared with his starting grid position (13, finishing in eighth place.) The fastest lap of the race was 226.940mph set by Justin Wilson on lap 185.
