Franchitti, the Scot, dominated most of the race, leading all but 12 of the first 146 laps.
The race began with a excitement then there was a crash on the first lap, followed by another crash a few laps later.
Veteran driver Davey Hamilton was the oldest participant in the field at 47. He went into the wall just a few seconds into the race.
He complained afterward that Tomas Scheckter caused the wreck.
In addition, Bruno Junqueira crashed a couple of laps later and John Andretti hit the wall on lap 65.
San Francisco residents watched the Indianapolis 500 on channel 7 and were fascinated by it.
Francis Witham a local San Francisco resident said, "It was an amazing race. I am sorry about the crash and hope everyone is okay. We were all just as excited as Ashley Judd was to see her husband Franchitti win."
