After being delayed from its 10:00am start time to 6:30pm in the evening due to the rain that impacted IndyCar Series qualifying, polewinner Abel led the 16-car field to green in the 75-lap race.
Rasmussen challenged Abel from the start, grabbing the lead at the end of the opening lap. Abel attempted to retaliate but that only allowed points leader Nolan Siegel to get a run. But when that attack didn’t work, Hunter McElrea snatched third from Siegel for half a lap, before Siegel took it back.
