Scott Dixon won the Indianapolis 500, beating Vitor Meira to the checkered flag by 1.75 seconds. It was the first win at Indy for Dixon, who started on the pole and led most of the race.  He’s the first New Zealand native to capture the Indy 500.  I always thought Nick Price was a fellow New Zealander, but he was born in South Africa and moved to Zimbabwe (it’s those “z’s” that confuse me with countries.

The list of top ten finishers:

1. Scott Dixon
2. Vitor Meira
3. Marco Andretti
4. Helio Castroneves
5. Ed Carpenter
6. Ryan Hunter-Reay
7. Hideki Mutoh
8. Buddy Rice
9. Darren Manning
10. Townsend Bell

I’m not even going to pretend to know who most of those people are.  Sorry.  However, I can say I know of various celebrities who attended the race, including honorary starter Kristi Yamaguchi.  Some other notables after the jump (that was a wicked teaser).

Also appearing at the 92nd Indy 500 was two time Dancing With the Stars winner, Julianne Hough, Marcus Allen, Baron Davis, Anthony Edwards, Patricia Heaton (MILF), Florence Henderson, Candice Michelle, Bode Miller, Luke Perry and Slash from Guns ‘n Roses.  Of all those, I’d say Slash and Florence Henderson are the most “celeb”, but that’s just me.

Enjoy your Sunday evening.
