Two road or street course races remain on the 2018 IndyCar schedule. How do the 10 full-time teams stack up against one another in these races?
Nine of the 11 road or street course races on the 2018 IndyCar schedule have been completed following the Honda Indy 200, which was won by Andretti Autosport’s Alexander Rossi in his #27 Honda.
Rossi’s victory in this 90-lap race 13-turn, 2.258-mile (3.634-kilometer) Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio is his second victory in a road or street course race this season, and it is Andretti Autosport’s third.
All three of the victories that Andretti Autosport have earned so far this season have been earned in road or street course races. Back in mid-April, Rossi won the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach on the streets of Long Beach, California, and back in early June, 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.

Rossi’s victory in the Honda Indy 200 is Andretti Autosport’s first victory in a road course race so far this season, as their other two victories came in street course races. All five of the street course races on this year’s schedule are in the books while two road course races remain on the schedule.
Andretti Autosport are now tied with Team Penske for the most victories in road or street course race this season, as both teams have earned three. Josef Newgarden won the Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama at Barber Motorsports Park back in late April as well as the Kohler Grand Prix at Road America back in late June in his #1 Chevrolet while Will Power won the IndyCar Grand Prix at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course back in mid-May in his #12 Chevrolet.

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