Following the Honda Indy 200 and with just four races left in the 2018 IndyCar season, how do the 10 full-time teams stack up against one another?
Andretti Autosport’s Alexander Rossi earned his second victory of the 2018 IndyCar season by winning the Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in his #27 Honda. His win in this race is Andretti Autosport’s third win of the season.
Rossi also won the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach on the streets of Long Beach, California back in mid-April, and Andretti Autosport’s Ryan Hunter-Reay won the second race of the Chevrolet Dual in Detroit on the streets of Belle Isle in Detroit, Michigan in his #28 Honda back in early June.
Rossi’s victory in the 90-lap race 13-turn, 2.258-mile (3.634-kilometer) Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio moved Andretti Autosport one win closer to the top of the team wins list this season.

Team Penske still have more victories than any other team so far this year with five. Andretti Autosport are now tied with Chip Ganassi Racing in second place with three victories. Schmidt Peterson Motorsports and Dale Coyne Racing have each earned one victory.
Honda drivers have not won more races than Chevrolet drivers in a season since Chevrolet returned to IndyCar in the 2012 season. However, Rossi’s win gives Honda drivers eight wins this season. Meanwhile, Chevrolet drivers have five. With four races to go, one more win by a Honda driver will ensure that Honda drivers finish the season with more wins than Chevrolet drivers.

NOTE: Gabby Chaves did not drive the #88 Harding Racing Chevrolet in the Honda Indy Toronto or the Honda Indy 200, but Harding Racing are still included in both sets of IndyCar Team Power Rankings because of the fact that they have not released Chaves and he is still technically considered a full-time driver.
