The 87th Indianapolis 500 was held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana on Sunday, May 25, 2003. Two-time defending champion Hélio Castroneves won the pole position and was trying to become the first driver in Indy history to win three in a row. With 31 laps to go, however, Castroneves was passed by his Penske teammate Gil de Ferran, and the duo finished 1st–2nd, with de Ferran winning his first Indy 500. The race was sanctioned by the Indy Racing League and was part of the 2003 IndyCar Series season. For the 2003 season, the series adopted a new chassis package and saw the introduction of Toyota and Honda to the field. It was Honda's third period of involvement at Indy. They partnered with the Judd program in the 1987 race, and was an engine provider in CART in 1990s, entering at Indy in 1994-1995. Toyota, previously an engine provider in CART, however, was making their first ever trip to Indy. Due to cost issues, and a shortage of engines and drivers, there was considerable concern going into the event that the field might fall short of the traditional 33 starters. On the final day of qualifying, the field was filled, avoiding a PR "black eye." Former presidents George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton were in attendance, the first time in Indy history that two former presidents were at the race. It was the elder Bush's second visit to the Speedway; he previously presided over the opening ceremonies of the 1987 Pan American Games, which was held at the track. Rookie A. J. Foyt IV, racing on his 19th birthday, became the youngest driver ever to compete in the race. For the first time since the 1970s, the race was not announced as a sell out. Since 1985, the race was usually sold out by July of the previous year. As of 2020, the 2003 race was the first and only Indy 500 victory for Toyota. It also marked the first Indy 500 win for a Japanese and/or Asian engine manufacturer. (en)

Indianapolis 500 2003 kördes den 25 maj på Indianapolis Motor Speedway och ingick i IndyCar Series samma säsong. Gil de Ferran vann, och gjorde att möjligheten för hans stallkamrat Hélio Castroneves att ta tre raka segrar i tävlingen försvann, något som gjorde att ingen ännu hade tagit ett Indy-hattrick. De Ferran tog sin första seger i Indy 500, medan Castroneves blev tvåa, vilket tangerade A.J. Foyts treårssvit från början av 1970-talet. Castroneves tog även pole position med en snittfart på 231,725 mph = 372,920 kmh. Det var även första gången ett annat land än USA tog hand om de tre pallplatserna, då de Ferran, Castroneves och trean Tony Kanaan alla var ifrån Brasilien. Det var även den första gången ingen av de fem första förarna kom ifrån Nordamerika. (sv)
