Indianapolis 500 history: Every Indy 500 champion since 2000

The Indianapolis 500 is one of the most prestigious motor sports events in the world, and its checkered flag is coveted like no other.

So much has to fall into place perfectly for a driver to win the race against the other 32 cars in the field, and one little detail or mistake can be the difference between a glorious victory or absolute heartbreak. But once a driver wins, their name is etched in IndyCar history, and they become embedded in Indy 500 lore.

When most drivers would do anything to win the Indy 500 one time, several drivers in the last 105 races have won more than once. In the last two decades, those with more than one Indy 500 win include Hélio Castroneves, Juan Pablo Montoya, Dario Franchitti and Takuma Sato.

Here’s a look back at every driver who has won the iconic race since 2000.
