High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The 86th Indianapolis 500-mile (800 km) race was held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday, May 26, 2002. It was the seventh Indianapolis 500 held as part of the Indy Racing League IndyCar Series schedule, and was part of the 2002 Indy Racing League season. Helio Castroneves, who also won the 2001 running became the fifth driver in Indy 500 history to win back-to-back races. It is largely considered one of the most controversial races in Indy history. On the 199th lap, second place Paul Tracy attempted to pass Helio Castroneves for the lead in the third turn. At the same time, a crash occurred on another part of the track, bringing out the caution flag. Indy Racing League officials ruled that the yellow came out before Tracy completed the pass, and Castroneves was declared the victor. After an official protest was filed, and after an appeals hearing, Castroneves' victory was upheld on July 2, 2002.
