He set new one and four-lap track records, as well as track records for <a href="/wiki/Overhead_valve" class="mw-redirect" title="Overhead valve">stock block</a> engines. His four-lap average of 212.354 mph tentatively put him on pole position. </p> <ul><li>Lap 1 – 42.490 seconds, 211.815 mph (new 1-lap track record)</li> <li>Lap 2 – 42.216 seconds, 213.189 mph (new 1-lap track record)</li> <li>Lap 3 – 42.017 seconds, <b>214.199 mph</b> (new 1-lap track record)</li> <li>Lap 4 – 42.905 seconds, 210.256 mph</li> <li>Total – 2:49.523, <b>212.354 mph</b> (new 4-lap track record)</li></ul> <p>Brayton's final lap dropped off due to transmission trouble.

Carter's four-lap average of 212.533 mph was faster overall than Brayton, and itself was a new four-lap track record. Carter took the top spot by a mere 0.177 seconds. As a result, in a mostly rare situation, the one-lap and four-lap track records were thus held by two different drivers. Carter clinched the pole position, and completed a 1st–2nd sweep for the Buicks on the starting grid. Only a half-hour had passed, but the Buicks had already established their dominance of time trials, and distanced themselves from the rest of the competition.

Their stops briefly put <a href="/wiki/Emerson_Fittipaldi" title="Emerson Fittipaldi">Emerson Fittipaldi</a> into the lead. When Fittipaldi pitted the next time around, Andretti moved back into first. <a href="/wiki/Tom_Sneva" title="Tom Sneva">Tom Sneva</a> was now second and Sullivan third. Several lapped cars began ahead of the race leaders on the subsequent restart. Going into turn 1 on lap 124, <a href="/wiki/Howdy_Holmes" title="Howdy Holmes">Howdy Holmes</a> drifted down into the rear quarter of Rich Vogler. Vogler was sent hard into the wall, skidding in front of the leaders. Andretti avoided the wreck, but Sneva locked his brakes and spun wide in front of Sullivan, who slipped by unscathed. Sneva hit the wall, but was not injured. Vogler, with a concussion and two cuts above his eyelid, was airlifted to <a href="/wiki/Indiana_University_Health_Methodist_Hospital" title="Indiana University Health Methodist Hospital">Methodist Hospital</a> for further treatment.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>After the cleanup, the race again reverted to <a href="/wiki/Mario_Andretti" title="Mario Andretti">Mario Andretti</a> leading and <a href="/wiki/Danny_Sullivan" title="Danny Sullivan">Danny Sullivan</a> second.

With two laps to go, Sullivan had a comfortable 2.4-second lead. Andretti was not able to close the gap, and Sullivan won his first (and only) Indy 500 by 2.477 seconds over <a href="/wiki/Mario_Andretti" title="Mario Andretti">Mario Andretti</a>. </p><p>Andretti matched his best finish in the race besides his win in 1969. Andretti was disappointed in an interview stating: <i>"Second sucks. This was my best chance to win since my 1969 victory. We got a lot out of the car but it was not good enough. I left Danny plenty of room down on the apron and he just spun out. I picked the way to go and it happened to have been the right way. I knew he was cooked when he went down the apron but...he was just lucky that's all."</i> </p><p>On his victory, Sullivan later stated in 1995: </p><p><i>"Mario and I are best friends, but he was so annoyed by the defeat that he didn't talk to me for a year. He would high-five anybody but me for several months. It annoyed him because he felt like he had it won. I had probably the best car of the field and so did he but ultimately I came out on top."</i> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Box_score">Box score</h2><span
