Round 9: Rev Group Grand Prix at Road America, Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. June 18-20.

Race Result:

After today's race Alex Palou leads the driver's championship with 349 points, followed by Pato O'Ward on 321 and Dixie is still there in third place with 296. Newgarden is fourth on 261.

Will Power's third place in the race is little consolation for Penske, after Josef Newgarden's gear box failure, as Scott McLaughlin finished in 14th and Pagenaud finished 18th.

Not a great day for Chevrolet either, as only three cars finished in the top 10.

Is a 10th place for Chilton one of his best IndyCar finishes??

2016-2017 he had a couple of seasons with Ganassi. Finished 4th at Indy and had a few other top 10 finishes.

What a horrible break for Josef, but congrats to Palou.

I didn’t like Jimmie at first in his nascar cup career, but I tolerated him and didn’t dislike him after a bit, which says a lot, but this has gotten ridiculous. I love him doing what he wants and more power to him. Just gotta clean it up JJ!

Yeah, even the commentators have started getting on him for keeping his foot buried and spinning when he drops a wheel. Might work in Cup but Indy cars don't like that.

BUT he does bring a boatload of money to the series as a whole and generally doesn't get in the way. Now if he could spin off and NOT bring out a FCY, that would be great

All of a sudden, theres 7 ex-f1 drivers in the field...

Pagenaud went straight backward just like at detroit. Still somehow in the thick of the championship.

If Jimmie Johnson was taking up a seat the could go to someone else, it would be annoying, but this is a car that otherwise wouldn't be there. He's living out a dream, and taking on a massive challenge at an older age. The cautions are annoying, but he should keep improving.

It's rather reminiscent of the CART era. In 1997 there were 7 ex-F1 drivers, Raul Boesel, Mark Blundell, Christian Danner, Christian Fittipaldi, Mauricio Gugelmin, Roberto Moreno, Alex Zanardi.
