Josef Newgarden: 10

The finish wasn’t as dramatic as his win last year,🦋 but it was another brilliant drive from the three-time Texas winner, who led a race-high 123🌃 laps.

Pato O'Ward: 9

Not winning after dominating the race feels like a kick in the gut, but a pair of runner-up finishes to start the yea♍r has Pato sitting in prime position atop the championship standings.

Alex Palou: 8

Fighting wi𓃲th the leaders in the closing laps on much older tires was impressive.

David Malukas: 9

Finishing 4th was a monumental achievement for this team, considering they made a mistake by not coming to pit road duri🐲ng the penultimate caution.

Scott Dixon: 8

Just another top-five finis🌄h for The Iceman, who quietly keeps stringing together results.

Scott McLaughlin: 7

He was able to move up thro🎀ugh the field, but he sꦅimply didn’t have a car capable of challenging for the win this year.

Colton Herta: 8

Herta had never even led a lap at Texas before today, but he mad🔥e his way towards the front and earned a solid result as the only Andret꧟ti driver to finish the race.

Romain Grosjean: 8

H♏e may have crashed at the end, but Grosjean put on an impressive performance on the high-bankeಌd oval.

Marcus Ericsson: 7

Ericsson did what he does, staying quiet u🤡ntil the end where he collect🐎ed another decent finish.

Callum Ilott: 8

It was another top-ten finish for the Juncos Holli🐽nger Racing dri⛎ver, who continues to push this team forward.

Helio Castroneves: 7

His name was never even mentioned during the race, but somehow Helio maneuvered his way♛ up through the back of the field and almost earned a top-ten result.

Rinus VeeKay: 7

After a poor qualifying performance by the Ed Carpenter Racing team, VeeKay was able to find the 🅷pace in the race to make some solid gains.

Agustin Canapino: 9

Forget that this was h꧂is first oval race ever, this was only his second ever IndyCar race. It was another sensational drive by the rookie.

Ed Carpenter: 8

Making his first start this season, Carpenter was able to avoid disaster and actually make some on-track pa𓄧sses.

Benjamin Pedersen: 6

Expectations were not verඣy high for the rookie driver, but he kept his nose clean after learning from his Lap 1 incident in the season-opening race.

Will Power: 5

The reigning series champion has had a rough start to the year, finishing outside of the t𒐪op 15 after a mistake on pit road and simp💙ly not having speed.

Simon Pagenaud: 4

Pagenaud followed his disappointing qualifying effort with a 17th 🅠place finish🐻.

Jack Harvey: 5

Considering where the RLL teꦍam started the weekend, this was a slight improvement, which says a lot.

Christian Lundgaard: 4

Same as Harvey, but mo🀅re was e🃏xpected from Lundgaard, who is a much better driver.

Conor Daly: 4

Ovals have been Daly’s strong suit, but the speed was never ๊there al♛l weekend.

Santino Ferrucci: 4

In a race that rewards b🐈ravery, it was surprising to see Ferrucci relegated to the back of the pack all day.

Alexander Rossi: 3

Rossi’s promising qualifying run ended at the hanജds of his former car, being ♚taken out during a routine pit stop.

Devlin DeFrancesco: 3

Another day ꦿwhere his race ended up with a crashed car.

Graham Rahal: 3

After calling out his team’s “unacc꧋eptable” performance this weekend, things didn’t seem to i♍mprove during the race, which ended with him being collected and nearly going into the catch fence.

Sting Ray Robb: 3

Crashing is never a good thing, especially when there is no one else to ꧃blame, but it was the first oval race for the rookie.

Felix Rosenqvist: 5

After earning his second str🐻aight pole at Texas, Rosenqvist🙈 followed it up with another dismal performance. His best finish in seven starts is 12th, and today’s crash definitely puts them in a hole after the incident in the season-opener.

Kyle Kirkwood: 5

It hasn’t been a smooth move to Andretti for Kirkwood, who crashed a lot during his rookie season with AJ Foyt’s t𒅌eam. He crashed in the first race this year and was unable to finish today’s race due to a mechanical failure after slamming into Rossi on pit lane.

Takuma Sato: 2

The first race in his part-time role at Ganassi did𒊎 not go well, despite his great qualifying effort. He crashed just 49 laps into the race, all by himself.
