How many racers lead a lap at Indy for the first time today?
Dan Wheldon was zipping toward the final corner of Sunday's, May 29, 2011 Indianapolis 500, surely figuring the best he could do was another runner-up finish. Wheldon never led a lap until the last one, the first time that's happened since Joe Dawson won the second Indy 500 in 1912. ChaCha!
