Marcus Ericsson, you may kiss the bricks.

The 31-year-old Swede held on to win the 2022 Indy 500 after a dramatic two-lap shootout at the end of the race: A crash from Jimmie Johnson red-flagged the race with just five laps remaining, and Ericsson held off Mexican driver Pato O'Ward and Tony Kanaan to win his first Indy 500.

Ericsson tasted the thrill of victory (and milk), while Scott Dixon was once again met with bitter defeat after dominating most of the race. Dixon served a penalty for speeding down pit lane, torpedoing his hopes at a second Indy 500 win.

Dixon did set a record for most laps led at the Indianapolis 500 in his career,

Indy 500 live updates, highlights from 2022 race

3:44 p.m. END OF RACE: Marcus Ericsson holds off Pato O'Ward and holds on to win the 2022 Indy 500. Dramatic last few laps.

3:42 p.m.: Going to a two-lap shootout once they restart. Ericsson, O'Ward and Kanaan are the top three as they restart. 

3:29 p.m.: Five laps to go, and the race has been red flagged following the Johnson crash. Not great for Ericsson.

3:27 p.m.: Jimmie Johnson hits the wall: He's moving, and the yellow flag is out. Another Turn 2 crash. Tough way for Johnson's first Indy 500 experience to end.

3:24 p.m.: 10 laps remain: Ericsson, O'Ward, Kanaan are the current podium. Kanaan has some room to make up, and it looks like that'll be the 1-2-3 for this year's Indy 500.

3:13 p.m.: Scott Dixon heads into the pits for his last pit stop. 24 laps remain. Dixon is caught speeding, so he'll serve a drive through penalty. That'll likely torpedo his chances at winning.

3:01 p.m.: Racing under green once again: Dixon, O'Ward fighting it out for first. Ferrucci wants to make a run at Kanaan. Castroneves in 11th. 40 laps remain.

2:52 p.m.: Another wreck, another caution: Scott McLaughlin is out, coming out of Turn 3. Loses it and slides across the track. He's up and out of the car.

2:40 p.m.: Herta's race is done: A throttle sensor issue forces his retirement. Tough break.

2:33 p.m.: Castroneves up to 11th: He's got an issue with his air hose, which is not connected to his helmet. It's flapping around. 72 laps to go. Scott Dixon in the lead.

2:23 p.m.: Dixon, Ferrucci and Daly all jockeying for first place on the restart. Dixon takes the lead. Daly, hometown boy, gets big cheers.

2:13 p.m.: Another caution out, this time on lap 106: Romain Grosjean crashes out after issues in Turn 2. All three wrecks today have come from Turn 2.

2:09 p.m.: Halfway through: Juan Pablo Montoya sits in 20th, Will Power in 24th, Alex Palou in 26th. Ilott and VeeKay are out: Dixon, Daly, O'Ward the current podium. Castroneves up to 13th, with McLaughlin in front of him in 12th. Things have settled after the Ilott wreck.

2:01 p.m.: Castroneves wants that fifth Indy 500 win: He's worked his way up to 15th. Marco Andretti in 17th. Will Power drops to 24th. 90 laps in.

1:53 p.m.: Back racing under green in lap 78: Dixon, Daly, O'Ward, Ericsson, Kanaan are the 1-through-5. Ferrucci, Carpenter, Newgarden, Rosenqvist round out the top 10.

1:49 p.m.: Bad news for Alex Palou: He is forced to make a pit stop under a closed pit, which is a penalty. Palou didn't have enough gas to keep pacing under yellow.

1:41 p.m.: Another wreck: Callum Ilott hits the wall after losing the back end. He is out.

1:39 p.m.: Jimmie Johnson comes in for another pit stop in lap 69. Colton Herta, Scott Dixon and Alex Palou all coming in, too.

1:25 p.m.: Back racing under green: Dixon and Palou still 1-2 at restart.

1:14 p.m.: Rinus VeeKay is now out of this race: He got loose and slides right into the wall. Car lights up, but he's up and out of the car. First retirement of the race, and the caution flag is out.

1:08 p.m.: We're getting our first pit stops: Dixon is in, as is Alex Palou. Palou is having issues with his steering wheel, with his crew not able to see the telemetry on his car.

1:05 p.m.: Some notable names running through lap 28: Tony Kanaan in sixth, Will Power and Alexander Rossi in a battle for 14th, Jimmie Johnson in 16th, Colton Herta in 27th. Helio Castroneves is up to 25th for the time being.

12:56 p.m.: Dixon and Palou swapping back and forth, playing a team game here. Rinus VeeKay in third, followed by Marcus Ericsson and Ed Carpenter.

12:46 p.m.: Alex Palou takes the lead from Scott Dixon early on. Jimmie Johnson under attack from David Malukas, and he gives up the No. 14 spot.

12:39 p.m.: Roger Penske gives the drivers the go-ahead to start their engines. We're just a few minutes away from racing in Indy.
