DETROIT (AP) — Pato O’Ward had tears triggered following the Indianapolis 500 after pushing the No. 5 Honda to the limits only to come up just short, getting passed two corners from the finish by Josef Newgarden. The 25-year-old Mexican says he had no regrets about his race strategy and ultimately was proud of his second-place finish. O’Ward will have a chance to bounce back, driving in the Detroit Grand Prix on Sunday. IndyCar points leader Alex Palou was critical of the short and bumpy street course before he won last year’s race and still isn’t a fan of the track.
