Kanaan on Sunday sympathized with Ericsson and third-place finisher Santino Ferrucci because of the odd one-lap shootout but insisted it was best for the fans. Tony Kanaan won in 2013 under caution, and even though he’s one of the most popular winners in track history, he recognized that some found the finish of his crowning achievement anticlimactic. Ind圜ar said in 2020 there weren’t enough laps remaining to stop the race for a final restart following a crash with five to go four years later, the series now thinks two laps is enough for a red flag. Dixon, a six-time Ind圜ar season champion but only one-time winner of the 500, said this week that the defeats that end under caution are the ones that bother him most.
There was no red flag in 2020, when the race ended under caution and was won by Takuma Sato as helpless Scott Dixon had to stay in line with no chance to try a late pass for the win. Since Penske’s first 500 as owner in 2020, both last year and this year have had late red flags to set up a race to the finish. In 107 years, the Indy 500 has ended under the yellow flag or red flag (for rain) just 19 times, but 10 of those endings have been since 2000. “We have a group that is certainly the officials of the track, and to me, we’ve said this before, I think all of you had said, we want to see a checkered flag, not a yellow flag.” In this gallery "Racing flag" we have 38 free PNG images with transparent background.“I had nothing to do with (the red flag), obviously,” Penske said.

The flag is commonly associated with the winner of a race, as they are the first driver to "take" (in other words, drive past) the chequered flag. At some circuits, the first flag point will display a repeat chequered flag (usually on the opposite side of the circuit). The chequered flag (or checkered flag) is displayed at the start/finish line to indicate that the race is officially finished.
Alternatively, some race tracks employ lights to supplement the primary flag at the start/finish line. Track marshals are also stationed at observation posts along the race track in order to communicate both local and course-wide conditions to drivers. Typically, the starter, sometimes the grand marshal of a race, waves the flags atop a flag stand near the start/finish line. Racing flags are traditionally used in auto racing and similar motorsports to indicate track condition and to communicate important messages to drivers.
