Winners:
American Open Wheel racing: Say what you will about the Danica circus, it made the general public talk about US open wheel racing in a way that hasn't been done in a decade. And it truly was an exciting race - and one that didn't have 22 cautions, unlike another race run today...
Dan Wheldon: It's hard to come into any race this big as the favorite and not crack under the pressure. Wheldon did what he had to do, despite a lackluster qualifying, and unlike some other foreign drivers, obviously understood the history and aura of the Indy 500. As a fellow Englishman, it was wonderful to see a Union Jack in victory lane...
Danica: She came fourth (for the second race in a row) in her fifth IndyCar race. That's a great performance for a rookie - of either gender.
Brian Herta: A great drive, if a bit unnoticed...
Losers:
Foyt: Volume One
Foyt: Volume Two
Newman-Haas: Not really a great performance.
Champ Car: It's unfortunate that Bruno will be out for some time, taking one of the best drivers out of the Champ Car Series for a couple of months. I hope he'll be OK, and will come back as good as ever...
