Colton Herta led the Andretti Autosport qualifying efforts with an average speed of 181.946 mph putting the Gainbridge Honda in third. However, following the assessment of grid penalties, Herta moved to the front row, taking the green flag from second. Executing a four-stop pit strategy, Herta led 13 laps of the race and ultimately took the checkered in sixth.

THE RACE
* The Bommarito Automotive Group 500 weekend faced multiple schedule changes due to inclement weather on Saturday, which canceled the NTT INDYCAR SERIES final practice session and moved qualifying to Sunday morning.
* This was the first-ever oval race that utilized Firestone’s alternate-compound tire.
* The 260 lap race saw two caution periods in 22 laps and 10 lead changes among six drivers. 

START: 2nd FINISH: 6th CHAMPIONSHIP: 10 (331 pts)

“The Bommarito Automotive Group 500 was a fun one. It was a little up and down for us starting second and moving back. We were all over the place at some points so it was definitely a rollercoaster ride, but we were still able to finish in the top 10. Now, we just move forward from here, and I’m ready to get out to Portland.”
