In the official action, James Hinchcliffe won a three-lap shootout to the finish to win in a Honda for Schmidt-Peterson Motorsports. It was the Canadian's first victory since 2015 at New Orleans, a month before his accident at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
"To finally do what was goal No. 1 when we set out at the start of the season, to get back into winner's circle, to do so as early in the season as we have, as convincingly as we did, was great," said Hinchcliffe.
