The second road or street course race of the 2018 IndyCar season is behind us. Where do the 10 teams rank in the power rankings at this point in the season?
Following Alexander Rossi’s victory for Andretti Autosport in the third of 17 races in the 2018 IndyCar season, which was the second of 11 road and street course races in the 2018 season, two drivers representing two different teams have now won one road or street course race each so far this season.
Keep in mind the fact that both road or street course races that have been contested so far this season have been street course races.
Sebastien Bourdais opened up the 2018 season by winning the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg on the streets of St. Petersburg, Florida in his #18 Honda for Dale Coyne Racing last month, and Rossi took the victory in the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach on the streets of Long Beach, California in his #27 Honda this past Sunday.
