From his seventh pole of the season, Linus Lundqvist of HMD Motorsports with Dale Coyne Racing hit the front at the start, but teammate Benjamin Pedersen was struggling to hold off Andretti Autosport duo Matthew Brabham and Christian Rasmussen, and he had to give up his second place to Brabham on Lap 2.
Rasmussen kissed the wall but kept it straight, but then spent two laps side-by-side with Danial Frost (HMD), banging wheels at times, before establishing himself in fourth.
