Results of the 1985 Indianapolis 500 held at Indianapolis, United States on Sunday, May 26, 1985. Due to a dramatic spin by eventual race winner Danny Sullivan, the race is known in auto racing lore as the "Spin and Win". Danny Sullivan beats Mario Andretti by 2.5 seconds despite spinning a full 360 degrees between the first and second turn when battling with Andretti on lap 120. Sullivan becomes the third driver to both spin and recover and later lead the same race, after Jim Clark in 1966 and Parnelli Jones in 1967. Sullivan does not, however, duplicate Clark's '66 feat of two spins and two saves in the same race. The Buick engine made its first significant presence at Indy, as drivers Pancho Carter and Scott Brayton qualified first and second with the engine. However, both cars dropped out within the first 19 laps. According to commentators of the telecast, it was said the Buick was faster than the traditional Cosworth engine, but its reliability was questioned early. Brayton did not have a major sponsor until after his qualifying run. Hardee's picked up the sponsorship.
