Kenny Bernstein won here three times and Brandon holds a 2-1 edge against Grubnic in prior events. This is Grubnic's eighth Indy, with only one round win to show for his efforts so far.

Both drivers lost traction here, but Brandon did so just off the starting line and Grubnic was almost to half track before puffing his tires. grubnic pedaled and struggled, but got to the line first to double his round-win total at Indy. He faces teammate Doug Kalitta in round two, Kalitta will have lane choice.
