IndyCar Driver Power Rankings after 2018 ABC Supply 500
By Asher Fair
After the 14th race of the 2018 IndyCar season, the ABC Supply 500, where do the sport’s 20 full-time drivers rank relative to one another?
The ABC Supply 500 at Pocono Raceway is officially in the books, meaning just three races remain on the 17-race 2018 IndyCar schedule. Of those three races, one is an oval race and two are road course races.
Andretti Autosport’s Alexander Rossi earned his third victory of the season and his second consecutive victory by winning the 200-lap ABC Supply 500 at the four-turn, 2.5-mile (4.023-kilometer) Pocono Raceway triangle in Long Pond, Pennsylvania. Much like he won the race before that, the Honda Indy 200, at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, he won this race in dominant fashion.
By winning this race, Rossi became the third driver to win three races this season. While there has been a ton of focus on the “big three” of the NASCAR Cup Series over the last few months, there seems to be a “big three” developing in IndyCar late in the season.
Rossi, Team Penske’s Josef Newgarden and Chip Ganassi Racing’s Scott Dixon have all won three races so far this season, meaning they have combined to earn nine victories in the 14 races that have been contested so far this year.
These three drivers have combined to win each of the last three races and five of the last six races, and they all sit in the top three in the championship standings. They are all well in the hunt to win this season’s championship.
How did Rossi’s third victory of the season affect the IndyCar Driver Power Rankings? Here are the formulated IndyCar Driver Power Rankings and the non-formulated IndyCar Driver Power Rankings following the ABC Supply 500.
