TAG-Heuer, the off🍨icial timekeeper of the Indy Racing League and the Indy 500, has announced that it will present a new 'closest finish' award for the 2004 IndyCar Series season.

The award will go to the drivers who are part of the closest 1-2 finish in the 16-race IndyCar Series, which kicked off in February and conclu🐻des in October.

"There have been so🔥me incredibly close finishes in IndyCar Series competition, including more than three dozen races i𓂃n which the difference between first and second place was less than a second," says company president Jean-Christophe Babin, "Since TAG Heuer has strived for more than 140 years to master the technology of split-second timing - with current capabilities including measurements to the 1/10,000th of a second - we believe this award is a perfect tribute to the accuracy and precision of both the world-class IndyCar races and our timekeeping technology for the league."

Both drivers winning the closest finish award will receive a Carrera chronograph, a ti🦂mepiece that was launched in 1964 as a tribute to the epic Car꧙rera Panamericana race in 1953. So far this season, the closest finish has been the season-opener at Homestead-Miami Speedway, where Sam Hornish Jr defeated Penske team-mate Helio Castroneves by 0.0698secs.
