The newest Indianapolis 500 champion ordered whole milk for his celebration, and surely for Marcus Ericsson, that milk never tasted better.
Ericsson won the 106th running of the Indy 500 on Sunday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, out-dueling a hard-charging Pato O’Ward in a riveting two-lap shootout to end the 500-mile spectacle.
The wild final two laps followed a brief red flag with just four laps to go, elevating the suspense of the race’s end. But Ericsson put on a show and came out on top.
And when it was finally his time to head to Victory Lane and celebrate, he followed tradition with a few sips of whole milk — that’s what he requested on the milk poll from the American Dairy Association Indiana — and then dumped it on his head and face.
Here’s a look at 10 awesome photos of Ericsson’s Indy 500 celebratory milk moments.
