Juan Pablo Montoya drove the team’s third entry in the “500,” finishing 11th. Kanaan completed his second stint with Chip Ganassi Racing, finishing third in the “500” in his only series start of the season. Of course, Kanaan (2013) and Rossi (2016) already have their likeness on the Borg-Warner Trophy, and O’Ward, in particular, looks like a future winner after finishing sixth, fourth and second in the past three races. A win would be McLaren’s fourth overall and first since Johnny Rutherford in 1976. O’Ward has an average finish of 3.0, equally Rossi’s average in the same number of races. Rossi then finished second in 2019, giving him a four-year run of first, seventh, fourth and second.
