Round 2 of an epic duel between Romain Grosjean and Scott McLaughlin played out in front of a massive crowd at Barber Motorsports Park. In the end, the Team Penske driver came out on top after Grosjean ran out of push-to-pass and was on a two-stop strategy. Both drivers made incredible passes for the lead in the final stint of the race, as McLaughlin collected his fourth career win.
Today’s victory is the seventh win for Penske at Barber, and McLaughlin becomes the fourth different race winner in the four races this season.
Grosjean came away with another runner-up finish, as he continues to hunt for his first career victory. He was the lone bright spot for Andretti Autosport on Sunday, as his three teammates struggled all afternoon. Will Power joined his teammate on the podium, making it another strong day for Roger Penske's organization. Rounding out the top-five were young guns Pato O'Ward and Alex Palou.
There was finally reason to celebrate for RLL Racing, who got a 6th place finish from Christian Lundgaard. His teammates were at the opposite end of the spectrum, but it gives the team a bit of momentum heading into Indianapolis. Scott Dixon finished 7th, in what was his worst finish at Barber since the 2016 race. All three Arrow McLaren drivers finished in the top-nine and Marcus Ericsson completed the top-ten on Sunday.
Chip Ganassi Racing didn't get on the podium but the team had all four drivers inside the top 11. Rookie Marcus Ericsson gained the most positions (15) in the race and just missed out on the top-ten. Ericsson was able to maintain his lead in the championship as the series heads to Indianapolis where he enters as the reigning Indy 500 winner.
Colton Herta was never a factor in this race and had another bad run at Barber, finishing 14th. Josef Newgarden finished just behind him, in what was a frustrating day for the three-time Barber winner. He had contact with Felix Rosenqvist on the opening lap, and had several other issues with his car throughout the race.
