"The team should be really proud. It was an exceptional effort"
The largest single-day sporting event of the year has come and gone.
An exciting and thrilling race ended with the Arrow McLaren IndyCar Team finishing the race, with its four entires into the Indianapolis 500, second, fourth, 11th and 18th.
Pato O'Ward and Alexander Rossi raced the final laps with all heart, going for their first and second victories in The Greatest Spectacle in Racing, respectively.
While leading on the final lap, Pato O'Ward went side-by-side with Josef Newgarden into Turn 3 and ultimately was passed for the win.
Alexander finished fourth, Callum Ilott in 11th and Kyle Larson in 18th.
Kyle went on to Charlotte Motor Speedway to take over driving responsibilities in NASCAR's Coca-Cola 600.
Following the 108th Running of the Indianapolis 500, see what the drivers and Team Principal Gavin Ward said.

"Man, the restarts were a lot of fun. I had an issue on one and lost some spots, but I was able to learn a lot and work my way back forward. I hate that I got that speeding penalty. I think it would have been a lot of fun to battle there at the end."
"This is the greatest race in the world, and we were incredibly lucky to get to fight for the win in it. This was a dream for me as a kid, and I think a lot of people feel similarly. Of course this hurts, but the team should be really proud. It was an exceptional effort; we had three cars that could have won today.
"We let Callum down with an issue on that car, and he got punted in the pit lane, which didn’t help. Kyle's car had a brake issue, which is a shame considering the potential he had in the car. I hope we get another chance with him because he can win this race, and I'm excited to see him get another chance to compete.
"Overall, I'm just really proud of the team. The name of the game of the Indy 500 is put your cars in the top five and hope it all works out in the end. We did that, but it just didn’t work out for us."
