Will Power missed a big chance to close in on Alex Palou’s IndyCar championship lead in the Milwaukee double-header’s second race. Despite Palou’s early mechanical issue, Scott McLaughlin secured his third win of the season, overshadowed by Palou’s subsequent battery problem and Power’s spin. Palou’s car stopped before the race start due to a battery issue, creating drama. Power briefly led before spinning out, losing valuable points.
During the chaotic start, a teammate accidentally caused an incident, putting Newgarden out of the race. Palou faced multiple setbacks but returned to the track after repairs. Power briefly took the lead but lost ground after a pit stop mishap. A strategic move by Herta to do one less pit stop backfired when McLaughlin caught up rapidly. It was a rollercoaster race with unexpected turns and intense battles for position.
