from the 9th starting position. Attrition was high in the first race after World War II, as three of the first four cars on the grid were out before the 50 mile mark (20 laps). <a href="/wiki/Paul_Russo" title="Paul Russo">Paul Russo</a> crashed in turn 3 on lap 16. Debris, oil, and leaking gasoline at the crash scene necessitated a lengthy caution period. Russo suffered a broken leg, and some other minor injuries. Several other drivers dropped out early with a bevy of mechanical problems, including Sam Hanks, Rex Mays, George Barringer, Henry Banks, and George Connor. On lap 40, <a href="/wiki/Mauri_Rose" title="Mauri Rose">Mauri Rose</a> suffered a heavy crash in turn 3. Rose entered the race as the defending co-winner, having won the <a href="/wiki/1941_Indianapolis_500" title="1941 Indianapolis 500">1941 race</a> with <a href="/wiki/Floyd_Davis" title="Floyd Davis">Floyd Davis</a>. Rose spun and the car reportedly rolled over the retaining wall. Rose suffered burns, but no critical injuries. <a href="/wiki/George_Robson_(racing_driver)" title="George Robson (racing driver)">George Robson</a> took the lead for good on lap 93. His six-cylinder Sparks was the first 6-cylinder winning car since <a href="/wiki/Ray_Harroun" title="Ray Harroun">Ray Harroun</a> in 1911. Rookie <a href="/wiki/Jimmy_Jackson_(racing_driver)" title="Jimmy Jackson (racing driver)">Jimmy Jackson</a> finished second, at the relatively close margin of 44 seconds. <a href="/wiki/Ted_Horn" title="Ted Horn">Ted Horn</a> made two lengthy pit stops and fell seven laps behind the last running car. Horn returned to the track, and charged all the way up to third place at the finish. Horn was the fastest car on the track in the second half, and he completed the entire 500 miles, but was 12 minutes behind Robson. <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Indianapolis_Motor_Speedway_Museum_in_2017_-_Racecars_30.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/27/Indianapolis_Motor_Speedway_Museum_in_2017_-_Racecars_30.jpg/220px-Indianapolis_Motor_Speedway_Museum_in_2017_-_Racecars_30.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/27/Indianapolis_Motor_Speedway_Museum_in_2017_-_Racecars_30.jpg/330px-Indianapolis_Motor_Speedway_Museum_in_2017_-_Racecars_30.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/27/Indianapolis_Motor_Speedway_Museum_in_2017_-_Racecars_30.jpg/440px-Indianapolis_Motor_Speedway_Museum_in_2017_-_Racecars_30.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2592" data-file-height="1944" /></a><figcaption>Robson's winning car from the 1946 Indianapolis 500</figcaption></figure> A mild controversy came about after the race, as race winner Robson was accused of breaking the rules by not exiting the cockpit of the car during pit stops.

Rookie <a href="/wiki/Bill_Sheffler" title="Bill Sheffler">Bill Sheffler</a>, running off the pace most of the afternoon, nursed his car to 9th place finish. Under the rules at the time, all cars still running at the finish were placed ahead all cars that had dropped out - regardless of total laps completed.
