Josef Newgarden moved to second in the IndyCar standings after scoring his fourth win of the season. IndyCar Report: ⬇️
The restart on Lap 23 saw Newgarden get down the inside of Power to grab the lead, while Ericsson managed to pass Malukas and VeeKay simultaneously in a three-wide manoeuvre that saw him move into sixth, and he then also got around McLaughlin to claim fifth. On Lap 31, Ericsson was into fourth, past Daly. Even if the Penske cars could retain their edge, Ericsson was at least showing the potential to limit the damage to his 35-point championship lead.
As other on-strategy cars pitted Johnson was left in the lead, while Power’s pitstop had left him behind not only Newgarden, but also O’Ward who had made hay on fresh rubber after stopping two laps earlier. On Lap 99 of the 250, Ericsson took advantage of a hesitation in traffic by Power to pass the polesitter and grab third, 1.3s behind O’Ward and 7.3s behind Newgarden.When the pits opened under the caution, the top eight dived in and the pitcrews of Newgarden, O’Ward, Ericsson and Power appeared flawless, while McLaughlin was sprung up to fifth ahead of Johnson, Dixon and VeeKay. Herta’s car appeared unable to engage a gear and he fell down the order.
However, the time loss for the Swede did allow Power back onto his tail to grab second. At that point the Huski Chocolate car fell back into the clutches of O’Ward briefly, before regaining his momentum and starting to apply the pressure on Power once more.. VeeKay was putting in his best oval performance outside IMS and he passed Johnson for sixth, although Johnson was not to be cowed on this day, and survived some wild moments trying to retaliate.
Palou then got up onto the tail of the Penske drivers who fanned out and lost momentum as they were having their own battle. On Lap 188 he re-passed VeeKay to claim an excellent fifth. Behind them, Grosjean slipped down the inside of Dixon to take seventh. With 18 laps to go, after nosing around the gearbox of Johnson, Grosjean went down the inside of the Ganassi car to claim sixth and a lap later Johnson ceded seventh to team-mate Dixon.
