Through 130 laps, there have been 45 lead changes among 13 drivers, breaking the last year’s record of 34 changes. The 13 different drivers who have completed a lap in the lead also ties a record set in 1993.
With 50 laps remaining, the cars of Andretti Autosport have assumed control as E.J. Viso, Marco Andretti and Ryan Hunter-Reay hold the top three positions with green flag pit stops commencing.
AJ Allmendinger was leading just past halfway when he had to make an unscheduled pit stop for a seatbelt that had come undone and lost a lap to the field. He fell to 24th but cycled back into the top 10 as other drivers made pit stops.
