Hildebrand Win at Indy 500 was denied by himself after hit the wall. thats give P1 to Dan Wheldon.
Rookie JR Hildebrand threw away the 100th anniversary edition of the
Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, crashing on the very last corner of the last
lap in the most dramatic, spectacular and heartbreaking finish in the
great race’s proud history.
Hildebrand was poised to become the first rookie since Helio
Castroneves in 2001 to drink the famous milk as he survived a wild
afternoon to enter the final lap clear of Dan Wheldon.JR Hildebrand had the lead coming to the checkered flag only to slam into the wall and finish second. However, heading into the final corner – and with his team officials
and pit crew already raising their arms in celebration – Hildebrand lost
control of his No.4 National Guard car for Panther Racing and smashed
into the wall. Even then, he nearly won in any case, as his mangled vehicle slid
along the wall toward the finish line. But the impact of the crash
caused him to slow enough for Wheldon to surge past in the final 200
yards.
