. Team_Penske's smclaughlin93 beats polesitter Grosjean to claim his first IndyCar win of the year and fourth victory in the series
Newgarden was the first to commit to a three-stop strategy, ducking out of sixth and into pitlane at the end of Lap 13 to take on a set of alternates, Rossi emulated him next time by, McLaughlin and Power following suit on Lap 15. Newgarden’s early stop paid off, as he jumped ahead of McLaughlin.
Palou emerged from his pitstop ahead of O’Ward but on cold tires he didn’t have a chance of stemming the McLaren driver. And in fact Palou’s colder tires meant he accidentally bottled up Dixon, allowing the opportunistic Lundgaard to lunge inside the six-time champion at the final turn. The caution helped the two-stoppers save fuel, but now the fastest three-stoppers were in the same boat as them – i.e. requiring just one more pitstop – and they had alternate tires. Grosjean would take the Lap 43 restart ahead of McLaughlin, O’Ward, Palou, Lundgaard, Dixon, Rossi, Newgarden, Power and Kirkwood.
Building toward his final stop, Grosjean set his fastest lap times to eke 1.5s over McLaughlin, and now he had 11s on O’Ward. He pitted on Lap 60, as did O’Ward Power stayed out until Lap 66 and his sequence of flying laps while in the lead meant he was able to grab a set of used reds and emerge in third. He was 10s behind the lead battle, but clear of the O’Ward vs Palou battle.
