Final points standings

  • Note 1: Drivers had to complete 50% of the race distance to score points. Points scored by drivers sharing a ride were split according to percentage of race driven. Starters were not allowed to score points as relief drivers, if a race starter finished the race in another car, in a points scoring position, those points were awarded to the driver who had started the car.
  • Note 2: Mauri Rose started the No. 3 car during the Indianapolis 500, but dropped out early with mechanical issues. On lap 72, he relieved Floyd Davis in the No. 16 car, and went on to finish first. While both Davis and Rose were recognized as co-winners - the second of two such occasions in Indianapolis 500 history - the winner's points went to Davis, who started and qualified the No. 16 car.
