Well, it’s finally, assuredly the Month of May now for the NTT INDYCAR SERIES.
The two oval races at Texas Motor Speedway – last Saturday’s Genesys 300 and last Sunday’s XPEL 375 – helped set the stage for what should be a dramatic few weeks at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where the GMR Grand Prix road race is set for Saturday, May 15 followed by the 105th Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge on Sunday, May 30. In between those races will be qualifying for the “500,” the most important NTT P1 Award session of the season.
As a refresher, Scott Dixon of Chip Ganassi Racing won last year’s GMR Grand Prix, Marco Andretti of Andretti Autosport captured the “500” pole, and Takuma Sato of Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing won “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” for the second time in four years.

Exiting Turn 2, Rahal attempted to pass Harvey on the inside, but Harvey had begun to change his line toward the inside, as well. The two continued toward the bottom of the racetrack, and Rahal dipped below the white line to avoid hitting Harvey.
As they approached Turn 3, Rahal got the better of the pair as Harvey backed off and let him have the position. INDYCAR race stewards ruled that the action was a racing incident, and Rahal went on to finish fifth, Harvey seventh.
