– Kody Swanson has been striving for years to gain an opportunity to compete in the Indianapolis 500. The beauty of being second is you just go where the other guy isn’t,” Swanson noted. By his own admission, and unsurprisingly, Swanson struggled to come to grips with the car in the early stages of the race. By lap 35, the two leaders were nose-to-tail, with Robb hanging on gamely in third. Then, after the victory celebrations, Swanson calmly headed off to climb aboard his USAC Silver Crown car in pursuit of yet another race victory. With Swanson long gone in the lead, the focus centered instead on the battle for second.
