NTT IndyCar Series 2022 - Gallagher Grand Prix

The Brickyard roars back to life as IndyCar and NASCAR collide in one summer spectacle fans will never forget. Let's focus on the IndyCar side of the Brickyard action known as the Gallagher Grand Prix.

The Gallagher Grand Prix kicked off with Alexander Rossi leading the grid via pole to the starting line and Pato O Ward became the first to surrender following a power failure. As the race restarts on Lap 5, Felix Rosenqvist leads while Alexander Rossi hunts him. As Colton Herta leads in Lap 14, Rosenqvist and Scott McLaughlin are fending each other off. In Lap 35, Simon Pagenaud surrenders due to low fuel, then in Lap 42, big trouble for Colton Herta following bodywork damage. As the climax nears, the drama unfolds for the drivers.
