This was a unique 500 in the DW12 era of IndyCar. This was very much a race of patience and planning. The last five Indy 500s have been all about drafting and getting to the front. A lot of fans called it boring, but watching drivers plan, calculate, and prepare a move for multiple laps was a different challenge and was entertaining in a different way than the last few 500s. The cars were tough to manage and that certainly shook things up. It was a race of patience and precision, two things Will Power hasn’t always been known for, making his win all the more impressive. That wraps up our coverage for 2018, but the 2018 IndyCar season continues through Detroit, Texas, Road America, Iowa, Toronto, Mid Ohio, Pocono, Gateway, Portland, and Sonoma. Keep watching for the best racing in North America!
