“I’m just so thankful to be here. I started out as a fan in the crowd, and this place is amazing, regardless of where you’re sitting,” Newgarden said after pouring a bottle of whole milk over his head. “Everyone kept asking why I hadn’t won this race, and they look at you like you’re a failure if you haven’t won it.

Alex Palou, the pole sitter and race favorite for Chip Ganassi Racing, finished fourth and Alexander Rossi was fifth on an otherwise disappointing day for Arrow McLaren. The first came for a crash involving Felix Rosenqvist and Kyle Kirkwood, who were near the front of the lead pack. Rosenqvist touched the fence in Turn 1 and could not prevent his Arrow McLaren car from sliding down the track. Kirkwood launched off his right rear tire and went upside down into the catch fence, beginning a terrifying, spark-filled ride through the short chute.
Agustin Canapino did a 360 spin behind him, breaking a break line. He was unable to stop and collided with O’Ward’s car.
