Alex Palou: 10
A dominant drive from the green flag to the checkered f𒅌lag, and takes over 🔴the lead in the championship.
Pato O'Ward: 10
Another runner-up fi🥃nish for O'Ward, his third in five races. He may not have the win, but he is carrying a ton of momentum into the biggest race of the year.
Alexander Rossi: 9
Things are beginning to click for Rossi and his new team, and it feels li🥀ke another win is on the horizon.
Christian Lundgaard: 9
A brilliant weekend, considering how the season had started for the RLL Racing team. Pole position and nearly a podium finish should have them feeling🍃 good as the Month of May continues.
Felix Rosenqvist: 8
He narrowly missed his third pole on 💧the IMS road course, and scored another top-five finish in what was a sensationa♉l day for the Arrow McLaren organization.
Scott Dixon: 7
In typical Dixon fashion, he 𓂃turned a poor qualifying effort into a solid finish.
Josef Newgarden: 7
His rough day of qualifying didn't help, but a decent result today just might provide the p🦹ositive vibes they need for the 500.
Marcus Ericsson: 6
He may have given up the lead in the driver standings, but he will now set his sights o🔯n back-to-back 500 wins.
Colton Herta: 6
The weekend st๊arted poorly with an engine fire, but Herta improved five positions in the race for a solid finish.

Graham Rahal: 7
The great qualifying effort was ruined on the opening lap with contact, but he rebounded nicely for his 12th top-ten finish in the 14 IMS road course races, which is the most amonಞg all drivers.
Romain Grosjean: 5
Expectations were high for Grosjean coming🎃 into this weekend, and for good reason. It was a massive disappointment but the Andretti team will try to turn the page and get ready for his second 500 start.
Will Power: 4
This was an event that 𝓡Power had dominated in the past, but a mistake in qualifying and contact with Kyle Kirkwood early in the race mad✤e for a disappointing weekend.
Rinus VeeKay: 4
The struggles for VeeKay and the entire Ed C𒁏arpenter Racing team continue. They ar💮e always strong contenders on the oval, so they have that to look forward to.
Kyle Kirkwood: 5
He was quick in qualifying but his contact with Power put him at the back of the field and he ⭕was never able to recover.
Marcus Armstrong: 5
It was a quiet day for the rookie, who now must wait nearly a month before his next chance to g﷽et ⭕behind the wheel.
Scott McLaughlin: 4
The Team Penske struggles hurt McLaughlin the most, as he took a big tumb🗹le in the championship standings.
Devlin DeFrancesco: 5
He was one of the pleasant surprises early in the race but he f🎃aded late and was not able to get back up into the top-half of the field.
Callum Ilott: 3
It was a ℱweekend to forget for Ilott, who had a lot of ♊optimism heading into this event.
Conor Daly: 3
Another 🏅bad day for ECR as they strug♓gle to find speed.
Jack Harvey: 4
The speed that Harvey showed 🌟in qualifying never translated to the race, and he 💟quickly faded to the back.

Agustin Canapino: 3
Not the showing that t♈he rookie was hoping for as Juncos was nowhere close in terms of setup.
Helio Castroneves: 3
A blown engine t🐻o start the weekend was a sign of things to come. Fortunately, this race is over with and Castroneves can now focus on his primary goal of becoming the first five-time winner in Indianapolis 500 history.
Santino Ferrucci: 2
He and the Foyt team were never a factor.
Benjamin Pedersen: 2
See above.
Simon Pagenaud: 2
Som🧜ething broke on his Meyer Shank Racing Honda, but he💛 was already a non-factor in this race. The struggles for MSR and Pagenaud don't seem to be getting any better.

Crashing into your teammate early in the ꦰrace is never a good thing, even if it wasn't your fault.
Sting Ray Robb: 1
Same as above, but the rookie was to blame.
