There were a few early caution periods that neutralized the action, but then the rest of the race was run caution-free and there was not any great variation in the pit stop strategies. Once the first pit stops cycled through, it was obvious that Team Penske was going to fill a good portion of the front positions, and they ended up filling the podium completely. Will Power finally broke his run of podiums without claiming a victory of his own, crossing the line first. Josef Newgarden finished second, just over three seconds behind his teammate, driving his backup chassis after a spectacular crash in qualifying. Scott McLaughlin rounded out the podium with a strong drive, ensuring Team Penske earned the first team sweep of a podium since Sonoma 2017. Alex Palou and Kyle Kirkwood finished fourth and fifth respectively, giving Honda their own results to be proud of on the weekend. Lundqvist, Armstrong, and Herta’s races were severely impacted by a crash on the first lap, with Armstrong receiving a penalty for causing the incident. Drivers and teams have a week off to recover before heading to Laguna Seca for the next race on June 23rd.
