Top 10 Bravest Indy 500 Passes (2001-2021)

[@busch77]

I saw the title of this video and immediately thought "Rossi's gonna have about 5 of these...", lol. Forgot how much of a wildman Scheckter was! Get me to Sunday, Motorsports Christmas!

[@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT]

Alexander Rossi and Tomas Schekter are the main drivers I can think of when it comes to making daredevil moves in the sport!

As a long time NASCAR fan who has been watching Indycar the last few years it's head and shoulders above any other motorsport right now.

[@__vx3]

It's really good to see. It's a long shot but I'd love to see Indycar return to the level of following it had in the late 90s.

[@ingolfura.4327]

Have you heard about f1, f2, f3, e formula, rally or le mans?

[@abrahamreyes6435]

@@ingolfura.4327 yes but in f1, if there are 3 overtakes during the duration of the race, it’s considered a fascinating race. Trust me, I’ve been getting into f1 these past two years. DRS trains, money>pure skill, minimal overtakes, FIA is an open rule book.

[@eddiebellamy7605]

Formula E is the most exciting right now. The last race had the top 3 finish within a second and a half of each other

[@shukriwafiq5220]

@@abrahamreyes6435 But there's need to be more than 50 overtakes to consider it a fantastic race. F1 isn't boring, you just don't understand racing on real race tracks.

1:00 I miss the times when Rossi was a threat week in and week out.

I think the AMSP team will give Rossi the resurgence he needs. Andretti showed they're putting their eggs in Colton Herta's basket.

3:27 Never personally understood the hype around Rossi although I'm more of an F1 fan and have only watched Indycar for a few years but man that was one of the coolest things I've seen a driver do.

[@tomanderson6335]

Tomas Scheckter: Lunatic? Genius? Yes.

[@CookProductions1]

Rossi not winning the 500 since his debut really doesn't tell the full story. What a driver he really is.

[@Hollowsmith]

Thomas Sheckter managed to pass 14 cars in 1 lap without the announcers even being able to identify the car making the crazy passes as Thomas Sheckter. It's actually impressive how untalented sports broadcasters can be at their profession while still not getting fired for it.

[@willbrown6287]

honerable mention: Sato on Dixon in 2012

[@djobe420]

Seeing this reminded me why Schekter was my favorite indy driver until Sato to town.

[@jerrycamaro1639]

This is one of the most awesome videos on KZbin. I love IndyCar!

[@Alex_Mac_]

Great job mate. Schekter in 2011 was exactly what I thought of it and I never expect that people remember it.

[@lonewolf2513]

Scheckter I'm convinced has balls of steel

[@Jameswormsley319]

🔥🔥

[@INDIGOBLUE555]

I guess most of these drivers do have. They show a great fair play as well yet trying hard when needed.Ovals are so dangerous and a mutual correct behaviour is a must.I'm any longer a big fan but I still am cheering at these guys' performances.

[@recon4786]

[@mikulitsi1819]

Scheckter's moves are some of the best moves I have ever seen in motorsports.

[@Kreeschon]

Tomas Scheckter shouldn't have gotten away with half the shit he got away with. Though I suppose he didn't considering how many DNF's he racked up.

[@lonewolf2513]

That pass at Indy was the highlight of that season for him

[@jzeirke]

I’d add an outside pass by Victor Miera on Dixon near the end of the 2008 race. He BARELY cleared Carpenter. It was nuts!

[@lockerracing7121]

Say what you will about the old Dallara IR-05, it certainly made for some good side-by-side racing in the corners at Indy.

Amazing video. Ole Pato had a chance to make a big pass. Sad, hopefully it doesn’t derail a young man’s career

[@brockstar1461]

without watching the video yet my favorite in recent memory is Ryan Hunter Reay's pass on i believe it was Castroneves going into turn 3 and almost clipped the grass

[@yhelloh]

in 10-25 years time we will look back at how close fans got to stand to the cars and we will say that we were crazy (which is kinda true) but you can only do so much. even with 1955 le mans the fans were behind 3+ rows of hay bales. it itches at my brain every single 500. tony renna. with kyle kirkwoods rear right almost hitting the fans in the crowd, but instead hitting a car should of been the wakeup call. i tear up at the thought of a tony renna accident on raceday.

[@dee3368]

More passing in one afternoon than f1 sees in 2 seasons ...amazing

LOL. 132 overtakes were made by Sebastian Vettel alone last season. More than this video. Why can't you just enjoy both forms of amazing motorsport?

[@niftyfiftytwo1484]

I was just thinking about that. He crashed out on the last lap, and everyone remembers that. But for him to be in 2nd he had to follow Franchitti on a pass on Dixon. The Target guys had been playing follow the leader with each other, and Sato had to glue the front wing to Franchitti's gearbox in a hella-impressive move to even get into 2nd... but then he crashed out so yeah.
