From that record pool, Rosenqvist receives $4.34 million, which is described as a record winner’s payout for the Indianapolis 500. The reporting frames the result as a combination of the race’s increased overall prize distribution and Rosenqvist’s position at the top of the results, which entitles him to the top earnings from the purse.
