With just over 10 laps remaining on the lengthy 4.014-mile course, final pits took place for the trio of Team Penske drivers at the head of the field. Scott McLaughlin pitted first from second place, followed by Newgarden and Will Power in the next two laps. Despite Power pitting a lap later, the overcut strategy gave him a significant lead. Newgarden admitted post-race that he should have stayed out longer, regretting his decision to pit before Power. Despite their strong pace, Newgarden felt they gave the win away but recognized the team’s stellar performance. His second podium finish of the year puts him eighth in the standings, trailing teammate and points leader Will Power.
