Just a few quick pre-race notes. I assume Felix Rosenqvist and Will Power were gridded by entrant points. I thought Power would get the 24th spot since he made a qualifying attempt.

I will be interested in the attendance today as a gauge as to whether this type of shared weekend will work. I would be fine with no more than two a year.

Several drivers need to have a good result today. Will Power, Nolan Siegel, Scott Dixon, Christian Rasmussen all need a 12th place or better to keep their season hopes alive.
