Justin Timberlake's Race Car Wins Indy 500

Can Justin Timberlake add 'Winner of the Indianapolis 500' to his resume? Well, sort of!

The race car sponsored by Justin Timberlake's clothing line, William Rast, won the famous Indy 500 Sunday.

According to Us Weekly, racing vet Dan Wheldon drove the William Rast car to victory.

"What a Memorial Day weekend! The William Rast car just won the Indy 500!!!!" Timberlake tweeted shortly after the race.


The singer-turned-actor also tweeted his congrats and thanks to everyone involved in the win.

"Congrats to Dan Wheldon, the WR racing team and everyone else who put in the hard work for this victory! Unreal!" he wrote.

Timberlake created the William Rast clothing line with his childhood friend Trace Ayala in 2006.

But the win for Timberlake and William Rast came with its fair share of drama. Rookie JR Hildebrand crashed his car just seconds from being crowned the Indy 500 champ, opening the way Wheldon to race to victory.

Check out the video below of Wheldon as he wins his second Indy 500 title in the William Rast car below.
