Your only memory of the hundredth running of the Indy 500 is surely Gas Monkey Energy’s Sage Karam piloting the No. 24 Chevrolet… I kid, while that was fun for all, the show was undoubtedly stolen by rookie driver and winner Alexander Rossi.
After winning the 500 and spending some time in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum Rossi’s 2012 Dallara DW12 Honda could now spend a lot of time in your garage. Driving for Andretti Herta Autosport with Curb Agajanian this is the car to cross the bricks in front of a crowd of nearly 350,000 people solidifying its place in history.
Though winning in 2016 at the Indy 500 the no. 37 chassis began its career in 2012 with drivers Alex Tagliani, Jack Hawksworth and Gabby Chaves all having stints behind the wheel. However, no name, aside from possibly yours, will ever match that of its final driver Rossi. The instant icon is being offered in Monterey next month and is, literally, one-of-a-kind.
