Bryant Heating & Cooling Systems saw its first victory at the Indianapolis 500. The company began its participation in 1958. Tony Kanaan, driver of the Bryant-sponsored car, led a total of 34 laps on the way to his first victory in his 12th appearance at the race.
“This is the biggest win of my career,” said Kanaan after the race. “I knew at the beginning [of the race] that we had a great car — I knew that from the get-go. We had a great plan and it was just one of those days. Everything was so smooth. This place has always been special to me, so to finally earn a win here is just unbelievable.”
