Sam Hornish Jr., Omega Lodge #564, Defiance, Ohio, won the 2006 Indianapolis 500 Mile Race. Some have labeled his victory the single most exciting moment in the history of the "Greatest Spectacle in Racing." Running second for several laps, Brother Hornish made a spectacular pass with less than 1/4 mile remaining to win the classic race by a matter of inches.
Lost in the hubbub of his breathtaking victory was the fact that Brother Hornish also won the race's sportsmanship award, reflecting his character as a Freemason. It was the first time the sportsmanship award had ever gone to the winner of the great race.
