1972 Indianapolis 500

These are the results of the 1972 Indianapolis 500, which was held at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Saturday, May 27, 1972.

Race Notes

* This race was slowed 5 times for caution for only 20 minutes.

* The Indy Emergency Medical Center was enlarged that year.

* Jerry Grant crossed the finished line 2nd but officials later penalized him 12 laps for an illegal pit stop. Grant had consumed all of the fuel in his pitside fuel tank, so he pulled into the pit of his teammate Bobby Unser (who had retired after 31 laps) and refuelled there. USAC ruled that Grant's race ended at that point with 188 laps completed.

* Jim Malloy died in a practice crash.
