Description

The Bommarito Automotive Group 500 presented by Valvoline is an IndyCar Series race held at Gateway Motorsports Park. The event was first held as a CART series race from 1997 to 2000, initially on Memorial Day weekend. From 2001 to 2003, it was held as an Indy Racing League event. After a hiatus of over a decade, the race returned in 2017 as part of the unified Verizon IndyCar Series.

Will Power turned up the wick in the final 100 laps of the Bommarito Automotive Group 500 and collected his third win of the Verizon IndyCar Series season on Saturday night.
The reigning Indianapolis 500 champion won by 1.3117 seconds over Alexander Rossi in a race at Gateway Motorsports Park that featured all-out charging and fuel saving to reach the finish. Championship leader Scott Dixon finished third but saw his points lead shrink to 26 over Rossi with two races remaining on the schedule.
The victory was the 35th of Power’s Indy car career, moving him ahead of Al Unser Jr. and into a tie with Bobby Unser for sixth all time. It was also the fifth win for Team Penske in nine races at Gateway.
