Chip Ganassi and Ed Carpenter Racing drivers locked out the Fast Six pole shootout, but while Ganassi ended up first and third with Ericsson and Tony Kanaan, ECR's best representative at the flag was Conor Daly in sixth.
Daly climbed from 17th on the grid to 12th in the early laps and made his first pitstop immediately before a caution period, which cycled him to the front of the field, able to exchange the lead for a time with Ganassi's polesitter Scott Dixon.
