Newgarden dominated the first half of the 250-lap race around the 1.5-mile track, but following the second round of pitstops, O’Ward got around the #2 Penske and pulled away to a seven second lead, lapping everyone up to and including third-placed Romain Grosjean of Andretti Autosport.
However, a timely caution pulled the McLaren back into Newgarden’s sights and he was also able to backtrack his car changes, and overhaul O’Ward and Palou for the win.
