Following Andretti Autosport’s first victory of the 2019 IndyCar season in the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach, how do the IndyCar Team Power Rankings look?
Andretti Autosport’s Alexander Rossi made Andretti Autosport the fourth different team to win a race through the first four races of the 17-race IndyCar season, as he dominated the season’s fourth race, the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach, on the streets of Long Beach, California.
Andretti Autosport joined Team Penske, Harding Steinbrenner Racing and Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing on the list of teams that have won one race so far this season, as these other three teams won the first, second and third races of the season, respectively.
Rossi’s dominant victory in the 85-lap race around the 11-turn, 1.968-mile (3.167-kilometer) temporary street circuit on the streets of Long Beach, California made the 2019 season the first season since the 2015 season to feature four different teams winning one of the first four races of a season.
