Indy 500 Race - 2011 Winner - Exciting Final 4 Laps - Down to Last Turn

All rights reserved including but not limited to IRL, ABC, ESPN - Indy 500 - 2011 Race decided in last turn, turn four. At 20 laps to-go most of the top 10 positions had to pit for fuel. Between 20 and 4 laps the lead changed several times, as cars pitted for fuel, Danica Patrick and Bertrand Baguette were leading. With 4 laps to go rookie JR Hildebrand got the lead. He was leading and the apparent winner, about to take checkered flag, when he swung too wide in last turn, for lapped traffic, hitting the wall just short of the finish. Dan Wheldon avoided the lapped traffic and accident, passed and won the race. JR Hildebrand's wrecked race car slid down the track against the wall, across the brick yards finish line, placing second.
