High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The 2004 Indianapolis 500 was held at Indianapolis on Sunday, May 30, 2004. It was flagged at only 450 miles due to severe thunderstorms and a tornado in the area. The combination of impending rain and pitstops threatened to turn the result into a lottery, with the winner being the driver that hadn’t been forced to pit for fuel. First to go is Bruno Junqueira, who originally gained the lead earlier by not pitting in hopes that rain would come before his fuel ran out. Junqueira pitted on lap 151, handing the race back to the day’s pacesetting trio of Buddy Rice, Tony Kanaan and Dan Wheldon. Kanaan and Wheldon, respectively, came in soon afterwards. Rice, who had steadily become the dominant car past lap 145, came in next and gave up the lead on lap 167 to Bryan Herta, who stopped in turn on lap 169. Adrian Fernandez made it to lap 172, but the rain still hadn't arrived. After several more laps, Fernandez pitted and put Rice back into the lead ahead of second place Kanaan and third place Wheldon, which remained the running order.
