Also, congratulations to Helio’s Team Penske teammate Will Power for moving into the points lead following his second place run. Charlie Kimball fought hard all day long to a podium finish, followed by his Chip Ganassi Racing teammate Scott Dixon making it a Chevrolet 1-2-3-4 finish. I’m very proud of our Team Chevy drivers, who really excelled this weekend.”
