The Andretti Autosport driver led the first stint of the race, but was surprised to emerge from the pits behind not only Chip Ganassi Racing's Alex Palou’s Chip Ganassi Racing-Honda but also Team Penske's Josef Newgarden.
While he spent much of the second stint trying to get around Newgarden, he had fallen 1.5s behind the eventual winner as the second stops began.
