Juan Pablo Montoya wins Indy 500 - ESPN

The first one was 15 years ago and a stepping stone to Formula One. The second one came for a 39-year-old man who proved JPM is back. In a moment of sincerity following his win, flanked by Team Penske president Tim Cindric, Montoya briefly suggested how much this one meant to him. "I'm glad I am proving them right, that they made the right choice," Montoya said, pausing and lowering his eyes. That was evident for two weeks at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where Montoya confidently boasted to his three teammates that he would win the race. On Sunday, he twice drove from the back of the field and fearlessly charged into the final few laps as the leader in a race where few wanted to be out front with the checkered flag looming, holding off teammate Will Power in the fourth-closest... That 2000 victory was easy -- Montoya has always said so -- and when a driver leads 167 of the 200 laps, it clearly was a relaxed Sunday drive. Montoya started 15th, but an accident on the first lap brought out the caution and Montoya was hit from behind by Simona de Silvestro under yellow. The victory gave Penske his 16th Indianapolis 500 win and first since Helio Castroneves in 2009. Penske also joined Chip Ganassi as the only owners to win the Daytona 500 and the Indianapolis 500 in the same year. Source: espn.go.com
