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.

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.
