Alex Palou: 10
Palou is on fire right now, winning three of the last four races, and hꦿolding a 74-point lead in the championship.
Josef Newgarden: 9
Road America𓆉 is a place where Newgarden has been 🗹dominant, and he nearly earned another win today.

Considering the contact at the start of the race and being penalized for blocking, a podium finish was a brilliant result for the youn🐷g driver.
Scott Dixon: 9
Dixon did it again, with a phenomenal dri𝕴ve going from 23rd to earn a 4th place finish.
Colton Herta: 7
After dominating most of the race, a 5th place finish feels✅ like a real gut punch for Herta, wh♔o is on a 21-race winless streak.
Marcus Ericsson: 7
J༺ust an okay day for Ericsson, who was bumped off track multiple times tod𝐆ay.
Christian Lundgaard: 7
A much-needed result for RLL Racing, who has really been struggling this s✨eason.

Kyle Kirkwood: 8
He spun on the opening lap, was penalized, but൩ rebounded once again for a top-ten finish.

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 for Rahal, but his best race day since t🎉he season-opener at St Petersburg.
Rinus VeeKay: 5
Yet another uꦫnderwhelming 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 Penske driver.

A 14th place finish is a positive thing fo♎r Meyer Shank Racing, whi♛ch speaks volumes about how their season has gone.
Helio Castroneves: 6
See above.
Santino Ferrucci: 5
A grea💧t qualifying effort was flushed down the drain when he was shoved off course midway through the race.
Ryan Hunter-Reay: 5
The vete💜ran's debut in the No. 20 car went about as expected, as the Ed Carpenter Racing team continues to strug🔜gle as a whole.

Many👍 expected Iওlott to perform much better this weekend, 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 moment midway through the race in the final turn.
Felix Rosenqvist: 4
One of the worst days of the season for Felix, who was getting blocked, sh🌳oved off 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 o📖n the outside simply do𒆙n't stand a chance.
Sting Ray Robb: 3
No surprises here. About wha🤪t we have come to expect from the rookie driver.
Devlin DeFrancesco: 5
He was running near the top-ten for most of the race, but fell behin𓄧d on the final pit stop sequence.
Marcus Armstrong: 7
Although it was his worst result of the season, the rookie led laps and was contending in the first half of the race, miꦆxing it up with Herta and Newgarden. A l♋ate 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 gr𒁏ass than he did on the pavement today.

Jack Harvey: 2
Another poor perfor♛mance for Harvey, which should surprise no one.
David Malukas: 5
🍰His strong Saturday took a hit w𝓡hen his car lost power midway through today's race.
