Which driver won the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500 in 2016?

Alexander Rossi won the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500 in 2016. The rookie drove for Andretti Herta Autosport with Curb-Agajanian and completed the 200-lap race in a dramatic fuel-saving finish.

Rossi inherited the lead late when front-running cars stopped for fuel. His team instructed him to conserve fuel, and he managed to reach the finish despite running nearly empty. Carlos Muñoz finished second, 4.4975 seconds behind, while Josef Newgarden finished third.

The victory was especially notable because Rossi was a 24-year-old rookie and had previously raced in Formula One for Manor. He became the first rookie to win the Indianapolis 500 since Helio Castroneves in 2001. Rossi even ran out of fuel on his cooldown lap and had to be towed back to Victory Lane.

The 2016 race was officially branded the 100th Running, although it was the 100th race rather than the 100th year since the inaugural 1911 event.
