Conclusion
The next road or street course race of the 2018 IndyCar season is the fifth road or street course race of the season, meaning it is the final race after which each driver’s average overall finish in road and street course races is guaranteed to match his average finish in the last five road and street course races.

The fifth race is just one day before the sixth race, as both races are a part of the doubleheader on the street course in Belle Isle, Michigan, meaning the next road or street course race weekend will result in drivers’ average overall finishes in road and street course races no longer guaranteed to match their average finishes in the last five road and street course races.
The formulated IndyCar Driver Road and Street Course Power Rankings and the non-formulated IndyCar Driver Road and Street Course Power Rankings have changed a lot after each road or street course race so far this season, so it will be interesting to see how they are affected following the fifth and sixth races of the season as a result of the difference that will exist between drivers’ average overall finishes in road and street course races and their average finishes in the last five road and street course races for the first time this season at that time.
