Josef Newgarden has done excellent business in the IndyCar. The American driver managed to finish the Grand Prix of Road America victorious. Rinus van Kalmthout came no further than a seventeenth finishing position.

Alexander Rossi was allowed to start the race from the first starting position but did not manage to stay in the lead for the entire GP. Newgarden had a convincing race and managed to outsmart Rossi. The latter driver finished in third place.

Marcus Ericsson, who just two weeks ago took the Indy 500 to himself, was able to secure the second spot. Romain Grosjean and Colton Herta completed the top five. Will Power, the leader in the world championship, did not get further than nineteenth place due to a crash.

Veekay experiences disappointing race weekend

Van Kalmthout had to start from the sixteenth place due to a disappointing qualification and managed to make little difference in the race. The Dutchman continued to drive in the midfield and eventually took the seventeenth final spot. Alex Palou, the number four in the championship, finished as the last driver.
