Report

Background

Andretti Autosport drivers James Hinchcliffe and Ryan Hunter-Reay, each winning two races. The defending race
winner was Hunter-Reay.

Qualifying

Hélio Castroneves of Team Penske set the one-lap track record in qualifying with a time of 17.3324 seconds and a speed of 185.65 mph (298.77 km/h), breaking the record set in 2008 by Ryan Briscoe. Castroneves also won the pole position after winning the qualifying heat race, but IndyCar officials ruled that Castroneves and his team had an improper engine change, changing engines before it ran the minimum 2,000 miles (3,218 km). Because of this, Penske teammate Will Power was given the pole, with James Hinchcliffe in second, Marco Andretti in third and Ed Carpenter in fourth, taking Scott Dixon's spot, who was also penalized for improperly changing engines.[3] Defending race winner Ryan Hunter-Reay failed to advance out of the preliminary heat.[4] The starting grid for the race was decided by three 50-lap heat races. Dixon won the first race,[5] Graham Rahal won heat 2,[6] and Castroneves won the final heat.[7]

Race

On lap one,

Oriol Servia, Hélio Castroneves, Marco Andretti, and E. J. Viso closed out the top ten.[13]
