Alex Palou: 10
Palou is on fire right now, winning three of the last four races, and h🐟olding a 74-point lead in the championship.
Josef Newgarden: 9
Road America is a place where Newgar♏den has been dominant, and he nearly earned another win today.
Pato O'Ward: 9
Considering the contact at the star✤t of the race and being penalized for blocking, a podium finish was a brilliant result for the young driver.
Scott Dixon: 9
Dixon did it again, with a꧅ phenomenal༒ drive going from 23rd to earn a 4th place finish.
Colton Herta: 7
After domina🃏ting most💎 of the race, a 5th place finish feels like a real gut punch for Herta, who is on a 21-race winless streak.
Marcus Ericsson: 7
Just an okay day for Ericsson, who was bumped off track multi😼ple times today.
Christian Lundgaard: 7
A much-needed result for RLL Racing, who has really been struggling this ꦏse🍒ason.
Scott McLaughlin: 7
After gaining ground early in the race, McLaughlin hit a plataue t🦩o finish 8th.
Kyle Kirkwood: 8
He spun on the opening lap, was penalized, but rebounded🐲 once again for a top-ten finish.
Alexander Rossi: 6
Rossi led all three practice sessions this weekend, but didn't🎐 execute in qualifying🎀 and was getting the short end of the stick in wheel-to-wheel battles in the race.

Graham Rahal: 7
It was a quiet day f𝐆or Rahal, but his best race day since the season-opener at St Petersbuꩵrg.
Rinus VeeKay: 5
Yet another underwhelming performance for VeeKay, who nearly caused a serious incident on🥀 pit lane and spun Felix Rosenqvist on track, but was surprisingly not given a penalty.
Will Power: 7
Considering how his first two days went this weekend,🅷 today's race was relatively mild for the Team P🧸enske driver.
Simon Pagenaud: 6
A 14th place finish is a positive thing🔴 for Meyer Shank Racing, which speaks volumes about how their season has gone.
Helio Castroneves: 6
See above.
Santino Ferrucci: 5
A great qualifying effort was flushed dowꦰn the drain when he was shoved off course midway throu𒆙gh the race.
Ryan Hunter-Reay: 5
The veteran's debut in the 🅰No. 20 car went about as expected, as the Ed Carpenter Racing team continues to struggle as a whole.
Callum Ilott: 5
Many expected Ilott to perform much better this 💃weeken﷽d, given his prowess on this type of circuit.
Agustin Canapino: 5
Not a bad day for the rookie, although he did have himself a big mome😼nt midway through the race in the final turn.
Felix Rosenqvist: 4
One of the worst days of the season fo✃r Felix, who was getting blocked, shoved oꦰff course, and just couldn't ever get back to the front of the field.
Benjamin Pedersen: 4
His outstanding qualifying drive was ruined when he was the victim of a pack of cars trying to go through Turn 6, where cars on the outside simply don't stand ಌa chance.
Sting Ray Robb: 3
No surprises here. About what we♎ have come to expect from the rookie ﷺdriver.
Devlin DeFrancesco: 5
He was running near the top-ten for most of the race, but fell behiꦓnd on the final pit stop sequence.
Marcus Armstrong: 7
Although it was his worst result of the season, the rookie led lapsꦡ and was contending in the first half of the race, mixing it up with Herta and Newgarden. A late off relegated him to such a poor finish, but his performance behind the wheel was another masterpiece.
Romain Grosjean: 1
Grosjean spent more time in 🎶the grass than h🙈e did on the pavement today.

Jack Harvey: 2
Another poor performance for Harvey,🦩 which should surprise no one.
David Malukas: 5
His strong Saturday took a hit when his car lost power midway through to�𒈔�day's race.
