By Lap 30, Power was having to protect his tires while running in the wake of the last-running car,’s Ganassi #48, and keeping an eye on his mirrors for Ericsson’s Ganassi car behind him. With rain potentially foreshortening the race, the teams and drivers were clearly running to a fuel number, trying to stretch the first and second stints, content to lap at around 165mph, some 8mph off Power’s fastest lap.
O’Ward never quits though, and on Lap 102 he was back past Newgarden for third, and Sato was in the pits. Dixon pitted on Lap 120 for new tires and to take out a turn of front wing. On Lap 123, Power and McLaughlin made their second stops, and next time by Newgarden and Palou did the same, and a lap after that it was O’Ward and Ericsson who stopped. INn the sequence, It was Newgarden who lost out, falling behind Ericsson due to traffic on his in-lap.
On the restart on Lap 159, Power led into Turn 1, but O’Ward took more speed around the outside and exiting Turn 2 thewas ahead. But Newgarden was taking full advantage of his new tires and being able to run full rich fuel, and had sliced his way forward, demoting Dixon, Ericsson, Palou, Power, and O’Ward to hit the front on Lap 165. He then started laying down fast laps, pulling out his lead to six seconds by Lap 175.
And then the rain arrived so out came the yellow soon followed by the red, at the completion of Lap 217 of the scheduled 260. That dropped Power into the clutches of Ericsson, a prime title rival, and Power was having to save fuel, just like O’Ward who fell victim to Malukas’ charge on Lap 245. The #18 Coyne-RWR car rapidly dispensed of Herta’s lapped machine and on Lap 253 he was under half a second behind McLaughlin, who was getting held up by Newgarden who was trying not to catch Kirkwood.
