All rookies and drivers outside the top 10 of the Entrant classification received an additional set of tires in this training session.
In the second practice session, Hinchcliffe again set the fastest lap. Carpenter finished second, Kanaan third. After Hinchcliffe had set the fastest time, he lost control of his understeering car in the closing stages and drove into the wall of the second corner. The training was interrupted for the third time after the accident and extended by five minutes.
Qualifying

Power was the fastest, taking pole position ahead of Kanaan and his teammate Juan Pablo Montoya . With his 35th IndyCar pole position, Power took sixth place in the all-time best list.
run
Power maintained the lead at the start and kept it safely until the first stop on lap 58. Due to pit stops, Montoya and Carpenter briefly took the lead. Power then took first position again. During the stop, Montoya hit a tire provided for him, so the stop was delayed and he lost a position. He received a warning from the race management. After the first stop, Power, Kanaan, Briscoe, Montoya and Hunter-Reay were in the top five positions. Hunter-Reay started the race from 19th place and I worked forward in the first stint.
On the second set of tires, Power was put under great pressure by Kanaan and repeatedly defended the lead in direct duels on the outer lane of the third corner. Kanaan pitted a little earlier and drove fast laps. Power stopped on lap 121 and Kanaan took the lead ahead of Power and Briscoe. Hunter-Reay lost a few positions as his right rear wheel was having trouble changing tires.
On lap 131, Muñoz brushed the wall in the fourth corner and triggered a caution period. With the exception of Power, Josef Newgarden and Marco Andretti , all drivers pitted for the third time. When restarting on lap 140, Power kept the lead. Kanaan, who had dropped to fourth due to his stop, overtook Andretti and Newgarden on the first lap after the restart. On the 168th lap, Hunter-Reay suffered a damage to the rear left suspension due to a material defect. He drove to the pits and did not trigger a yellow phase.
Power began the final pit stop phase on lap 190. In the meantime, Montoya took the lead, then Power led ahead of Newgarden and Montoya. In lapping traffic, Montoya passed Newgarden into second position. Newgarden pitted again later.
