Result:
That was a rather dull affair. A bit like an F1 race. Lots of incident at the start of the race, then settling down to a procession, with a bit of action after the second FCY. Then settling down again and picking up in the last 5 laps. The high downforce, generated by the aero-kits doesn't lend to good racing on short ovals. Otherwise the pendulum swings in favour of Chevrolet. However, Honda lost 5 cars, including Bourdais on the opening lap crash and for the second race this season, none of Andretti Autosport's cars/drivers finished.
