Alexander Rossi had a chance to win his second Indianapolis 500. The 27-year-old, who was the 500 champion as a rookie in 2016, took the lead with less than six laps to go on Sunday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. But, he was passed by Simon Pagenaud in the final stages of the race and finished in second place. “We just didn’t have the straight-line speed,” Rossi told reporters after the race. “(Pagenaud) was a deserving winner for sure.
