Colton Herta led the first 86 laps. During the second caution, Scott McLaughlin’s pit crew got him out ahead of Herta.

McLaughlin led the last 164 laps to win his second race of the season over Pato O’Ward by .4814 seconds. It was also McLaughlin’s sixth career win in the IndyCar Series. The rest of the top five finishers were Josef Newgarden third, Scott Dixon fourth, and Rinus VeeKay fifth.
