It was the premier event of the 2013 IZOD IndyCar Series season. Tony Kanaan, a native of Brazil, was victorious on a record-setting day. Kanaan became the fourth Brazilian driver to win the Indianapolis 500 joined by Emerson Fittipaldi, Helio Castroneves, and Gil de Ferran. The track opened for practice on Saturday, May 11. Time trials were held May 18–19, and the final practice, traditionally dubbed "Carb Day", was Friday, May 24. A support race, the Freedom 100 for the Indy Lights series was also held on Carb Day. In time trials, owner/driver Ed Carpenter of Indianapolis won the pole position, the first American-born pole-sitter since 2006, and the first owner/driver to sit on the pole since 1975. For the first time since 1987, two drivers in the field entered the race attempting to win a fourth Indianapolis 500.The Talk of Gasoline Alley – WFNI, May 13, 2013. Three-time winners Hélio Castroneves (2001, 2002, 2009) and Dario Franchitti (2007, 2010, 2012) attempted to tie A. J. Foyt, Al Unser Sr. and Rick Mears for the most Indy 500 victories. Neither driver was victorious this day, though Castroneves would achieve the feat in 2021. Unknown at the time, the 2013 race would be Franchitti's last; he retired after suffering severe injuries in a crash at Houston about five months later.https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/motor/indycar/2013/11/14/dario-franchitti-retires-indycar-injured-crash/3537295/ Dario Franchitti retires from IndyCar after accident USA Today Gannett Company November 14, 2013 October 29, 2014 After eleven previous attempts, Tony Kanaan, racing for KV Racing Technology, won the race. On a restart with three laps remaining, Kanaan overtook leader Ryan Hunter-Reay in the first turn. Three-time champion Dario Franchitti got loose and crashed into the outside wall bringing out the final caution of the race. Kanaan led Rookie of the Year Carlos Muñoz and Hunter-Reay across the line. The average speed of the race – 187.433 mph km/h on – was the fastest Indianapolis 500, breaking the record set in 1990 by Arie Luyendyk. The record would stand until 2021. The 68 lead changes, and 14 different leaders, set during the race were also new records at the time. Other records set (each of which have since been broken) included most cars running at the finish in a race that completed 200 laps (26), fewest caution laps (21), most laps completed by the field (5,863), as well as a 133-lap caution-free segment from lap 61 through 193. Chevrolet swept the top four finishing positions, and took its first Indianapolis 500 win since 2002, breaking Honda's streak of nine consecutive Indy 500 wins. Chassis manufacturer Dallara won its eighth straight Indy 500, and 13th overall since joining the series in 1997.

Rookie orientation participants receive four additional sets for exclusive use during that session, and likewise refresher test participants receive two additional sets for use during that session. Entries that qualify for the Fast Nine "Shootout" on Pole Day will receive an additional new set of tires for use during each shootout qualifying attempt, but they must be returned and can not be used during the race. Full-time IndyCar entries must adhere to the required 2,000-mile engine mileage limits. Unapproved engine changes will see a 10-position grid penalty at the next race of the season (Detroit). Most full-time teams will enter the month with the same engine they used earlier in the season (Brazil, Long Beach, etc.). The 2,000 miles on the engine must be exhausted during practice before installing a fresh engine for "Fast Friday" and qualifying. At the close of time trials, an additional fresh engine may be installed for Carb Day and race day, without penalty. However, the time trials engine (and the race day engine) must be re-installed and utilized for later events if it still has miles remaining on it. Part-time teams utilizing the "Short" engine program will be provided with one engine for use during practice, time trials, and race day.

Takuma Sato had a small engine fire at the beginning of the session, but it was extinguished quickly by the team. Ana Beatriz made contact with Carlos Muñoz entering the pits. The car suffered minor damage to the front wing. Ryan Briscoe suffered an engine fire as time expired in the session. He pulled the car over in the warm-up lane of turn four, and climbed from the cockpit uninjured. Pit Stop Challenge The 36th annual Pit Stop Challenge was held on Friday May 24. The competition featured twelve participants in a single-elimination bracket-style match-up. Four teams received byes, while eight teams competed in the first round. The format has two cars competing in a head-to-head layout resembling a drag race. The cars race from a standing start and drive into the pit box, change four tires, simulate a refueling, and race to a finish line a few hundred feet down the pit lane. Team Penske won the pit stop competition for the 14th time, with driver Helio Castroneves (his 6th win individually in the event).

It was the fastest Indy 500 in history to-date, breaking the record set by Arie Luyendyk in 1990 (185.981 mph). The speed record stood until 2021. There were 68 official lead changes, breaking the record of 34 set in 2012. This record still stands as of 2021. There were 14 different leaders, breaking the record of 12 set in 1993 (this record was later broken in 2017 and 2018 with 15). Unofficially, there were 84 lead changes between 15 drivers. Lead changes and leaders are only scored at the start/finish line. However, there were 16 additional interim lead changes during the course of the race, and one additional driver, Dario Franchitti, briefly led the field exiting the pit area on lap 189. A total of 26 cars were running at the finish, tying the record set in 1911 (40 cars started that year). This record was broken in 2021 (30). A total of 19 cars finished on the lead lap, tying the record set in 2009. This record was broken in 2021 (22). The 33-car field completed a record total of 5,863 laps out of a possible 6,600 (88.8%). This record was broken in 2021 (6,308). There was a green flag stint from lap 61 through 193 (a total of 133 consecutive laps without a caution). That breaks the record in the modern era for most consecutive laps completed without a caution. Since the "pack-up" rule was adopted in 1979, the previous longest stretch of green flags laps occurred in 2002 (74 consecutive laps). Note that this record was later broken in 2014 (149 consecutive laps). There were only 21 laps run under caution, breaking the modern era record of 26 set in 1990 for a full 500-mile race. This record was broken in 2021 (18 laps). Winner Tony Kanaan won the race in his 12th attempt, matching the mark set by Sam Hanks (1957). Hanks qualified 13 times, but started only 12 due to an injury in 1941. Car #11 won for the first time. Hélio Castroneves completed the full 500 miles without relief for a record 9th time in his career. Ted Horn and A. J. Foyt had done so eight times. Scott Dixon completed the full 500 miles for a record-tying 6th consecutive year. Scott Dixon has completed a record 1,566 consecutive laps dating back to the start of the 2006 race. Ed Carpenter led the most laps during the race with 37. That is the lowest total by the driver leading the most laps during a single race. In 1996, Roberto Guerrero had previously set that low mark when he led the most laps in 1996, his total was 47. There were seven different leaders in a seven-lap stretch during laps 120–126. This betters a mark set in 1981 when there were five different leaders over a five-lap stretch from lap 56–60. For the third year in a row, the lead changed hands with less than three laps to go. Unknown to all at the time, this would be Dario Franchitti's final Indy 500. On October 6, 2013, Franchitti was involved in a serious crash in the Grand Prix of Houston, when his car flew into catch-fencing after contact with the cars of Takuma Sato and E. J.
