The duel between Ryan Hunter-Reay and Helio Castroneves in the closing laps of
the 2014 Indianapolis 500 was some of the best racing ever at the
Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

30 Days in May: No. 28, Ryan Hunter-Reay, 2014 DHL Dallara/Honda. Ryan Hunter-Reay became the first 500’s U.S.-born winner since Sam Hornish Jr. in 2006 when he held off Helio Castroneves to cap a thrilling duel. Hard, clean and precise racing in the closing laps made the 2014 race one of the most memorable.

This year, Hunter-Reay was a bit of a surprise in making the Fast Nine Shootout. He'll start seventh on Sunday.
