20 Baby Borgs. 20 wins. 20 days until the 2025 #Indy500. No one’s done it like Roger Penske and @Team_Penske. 🏁 From @h3lio to @josefnewgarden, each win built a legacy and every Baby Borg tells part of the story. Will this year’s running bring #21? 🏆 @IMS
BorgWarner sends condolences to Susan Unser & the entire Unser family in their loss of Al. Al was 4-time Indianapolis 500 winner & 3-time national driving champion. A truly first class gentleman & winner on & off the track.
IT’S CALLED THE BORG-WARNER TROPHY. EVERY YEAR, THE WINNER OF THE INDIANAPOLIS 500 GETS A STERLING SILVER SCALE REPLICA OF THEIR FACE MADE, WHICH IS THEN PERMANENTLY AFFIXED TO THE TROPHY IN HONOR OF THEIR WIN.
Some traditions must change over the years. But this August, the milk will taste just as sweet when we're "Back Home Again in Indiana!"
As we approach the traditional #Indy500 weekend, let's remain smart, healthy and excited for The Greatest Spectacle in Racing to arrive.
Takuma Sato has now won the Indy 500 twice for his native Japan. #DYK there are twelve countries and 21 US states represented by the winners on the Borg-Warner Trophy? #Indy500
Race fans, start your engines because the @IMSMuseum is back and reimagined to bring #Indy500 and @IndyCar history to life. 🏁 And yes, the Borg-Warner Trophy® is standing tall in its new home. 🏆
After awarding @simonpagenaud his trophy, we donated $20,000 in Simon’s name to @IndyHumane – The Humane Society of Indianapolis, a charity providing services to and outreach through community and shelter programs.
Say hello to the 110th face to join the ranks of the legends on the Borg-Warner Trophy!
Congratulations to @josefnewgarden and @teampenske on winning the 107th running of the #Indy500!
“When your face is on the Borg-Warner Trophy, you’re a part of history. You’ll see an even bigger smile on my face this time than when I won the last time.” - @jpmontoya, after his second #Indy500 victory in 2015
In thirty days, we'll wave the green and checkered flag at @IMS for the 105th running of the Indianapolis 500 Presented by Gainbridge. Are you ready for the Greatest Spectacle in Racing? 🏁

Back in the hot seat. 👀 Four-time #Indy500 winner @h3lio visited with sculptor William Behrends for some facial finessing to his Borg-Warner Trophy likeness. 🏆
The cars of the NTT @IndyCar Series produce 700 HP from an engine which is only 2.2 liters. How? With a pair of BorgWarner EFR Series 7163 turbochargers, which have a 100% reliability record since 2012. #IndyCar
Today, the Borg-Warner Trophy™ stopped by the @McLarenF1 Technology Center for a “Coming Home” celebration with Johnny Rutherford and his 1974 #Indy500 winning car, which will now make its home the McLaren Technology Center.
The 54th annual Louis Schwitzer Award was presented to eight engineers for their engineering excellence in developing the innovative Aeroscreen for @IndyCar, which protects the driver from airborne debris. Learn more: borgwarner.com/newsroom/pres…@IMS

Excited for The Greatest Spectacle in Racing tomorrow? We sure are! We wonder which of these drivers will soon be immortalized on the Borg-Warner Trophy® facade … 👀 @IndyCar@IMS#Indy500#IndyCar#BackOnTrack
We loved everything about this year's #INDY500. Even the rain. @josefnewgarden is the back-to-back winner, and it's a wrap on The Greatest Spectacle in Racing. Congratulations, @Team_Penske!
The Duke of Richmond who hosts the annual @fosgoodwood proudly poses with the Borg-Warner Trophy™ at the event starting line, made of original bricks from Indianapolis Motor Speedway. #FOS@IMS
#DidYouKnow that not every face on the trophy is a past #Indy500 Winner? 🤔
In 1987, a 24-karat gold likeness of the late @IMS Owner and President, Anton “Tony” Hulman Jr., was added as a tribute to his purchase and rejuvenation of the track after WWII. ⭐
A thank you and congratulations to William Behrends! For the last 33 years, he’s sculpted the faces of #Indy500 winners. We presented him a “Baby Borg” for his hard work and generous partnership at this year’s Victory Celebration. 🏆
One of my least-liked design elements of suburban design is this inaccessible landing I see in foyers.
Any creative solutions for "staging" it out there?
Did you know that the driver with the longest gap between #Indy500 victories is @jpmontoya? After dominating in 2000, he came out on top of a major battle to win again 15 years later in 2015.
What a night to kick-off the weekend!
Last night we honored the legendary Al Unser by presenting him with a Baby Borg trophy for the 50th anniversary of his #Indy500 win. Congratulations Al!

The first driver to record a 200 mph qualifying lap @IMS? That would be Tom Sneva in 1977. Tom received 200 silver dollars to commemorate his historic achievement. He is also the only driver to wear glasses on the Borg-Warner Trophy. 😎
