He still hasn't won at Iowa, but he has now won the last four poles at the track, and finished runner-up to♛ his teammate today.
Alex Palou: 9
The championship leader continues to impress, finishing 8th and 3rd on a short oval, which had been viewed as his onl🐈y weakness.
Felix Rosenqvist: 8
A late caution flag presented an op♕portunity, but he simply didn't have the pace (or the tires) to compete for the win.
Scott McLaughlin: 8
He led laps an📖d battled with his two teammates for the lead all weekend,♔ but couldn't seal the deal for his first oval win.
Scott Dixon: 7
Two 6th plaওce finishes made for a typical slow-and-steady weeke൩nd for Dixon.
Colton Herta: 6

David Malukas: 7
Like Herta, Malukas p𝔉erformed much better today to salvage the overall weekend.

Ericsson seemed to🍒 have the pace to keep up with the Penske cars at times, but he cꦚouldn't capitalize at the end of the races.
Pato O'Ward: 7
A podium finish and a top-ten result mad♓e ꦦfor a decent weekend for O'Ward, but he and the McLaren team remain winless with just five races to go.

It wasn't a great weekend for Kirkwood, but the𒉰 bad luck at least stayed away from his No. 27 team.
Romain Grosjean: 6

Christian Lundgaard: 5
🏅The race winner from last weekend was n▨owhere to be found this weekend, in either race.

Overall it was a decent weekend for the four-time Indy 500 winner, in wh♔at is likely his final full season.

This may have been Harvey's last race weekend, as his miserable teꦰnure at RLL♔ Racing continued.
