The 2000 Indianapolis 500 was held at Indianapolis on Sunday, May 28, 2000.

Recap

Jimmy Vasser and Juan Pablo Montoya broke ranks from the CART series and raced at Indianapolis. Greg Ray won the battle for the pole position, but Montoya dominated on race day, becoming the first rookie winner since Graham Hill in 1966, and the first driver to win from the second starting position since Mario Andretti in 1969. Buddy Lazier, able to run with Montoya when nearing lap 160, was unable to keep pace during the final 100 miles, and settled for second for the second time in four years. This race also featured Lyn St. James and Sarah Fisher on the grid. Although they crashed on lap 71, they were the first duo of female drivers to start the same Indy 500.
