INDIANAPOLIS - For Graham Rahal, driving in the Indianapolis 500 has been an almost lifelong ambition. The son of 1986 Indy winner and IRL IndyCar Series team owner Bobby Rahal has been coming to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway since he was a small child, and he has visualized himself in a car on the famed 2 1/2 -mile oval many, many times.
INDIANAPOLIS -- If Graham Rahal didn't know it before, he does now: There's no such thing as a birthright at the Indianapolis 500. Having a famous name didn't guarantee Rahal, son of 1986 winner Bobby Rahal, a smooth path to his first Indy 500. But after a few speed bumps that included getting bumped three times and venting at his team on the first day of qualifying, Rahal is ready to race Sunday.
An Indianapolis 500 winner and a NASCAR racing champ are part of this year's Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix 25th anniversary celebration. I think what I love so much about vintage racing is it's a living museum; you go out there and you watch the cars, and there's a history of the automobile before your eyes," said Bobby Rahal, 1986 Indy 500 winner and this year's honorary race director.

Chip Ganassi resisted the temptation to expand his open-wheel organization the past three Indy Racing League seasons, in part, because of an unpredictable economy. But after a record-setting 2010 campaign in which his NASCAR and IRL teams captured the biggest races of the year -- Daytona 500 and Indianapolis 500 -- Ganassi decided bigger is better.

INDIANAPOLIS - Pumping his fist as he took the checkered flag and breaking down in tears when he was done, Helio Castroneves capped a perfect month of May with the biggest win of all Sunday at the Indianapolis 500. Castroneves became the ninth driver to win the historic race three times, and his timing couldn't have been better. Just 51/2 weeks ago, he was acquitted of most charges at a federal tax evasion trial, and the remaining count was thrown out on Friday.

INDIANAPOLIS - Strategy was almost as important as speed Saturday as Scott Dixon won the pole for the Indianapolis 500 with a big gamble by his Target Chip Ganassi Racing team. Dixon and teammate Dan Wheldon, who took the second spot, both took advantage of Indy's unique qualifying format, which allows each entry up to three tries on each of the four days of time trials.

INDIANAPOLIS - The storyline was supposed to be easy: Marco Andretti, on the 40-year anniversary of his grandfather Mario's only Indianapolis 500 victory, would return the family to victory lane. Instead, Marco Andretti didn't make it through the first lap. Rookie Mario Moraes' car made contact with Andretti's racer, forcing it into the wall as the cars went through the very first turn.
