Alexander Rossi completed his entire domination of the Mid-Ohio week-end by a victory, again, this afternoon.

Rossi finished in front of Ricardo Favoretto - that completes his second podium of the day after his second place in the morning - and Giancarlo Vilarinho, who finished dead last this morning after a penalty for "avoidable contact" that added 30 seconds to his race time.

Quebeckers Mikaƫl Grenier and Maxime Pelletier finished respectively 4th and 5th in this second race of the day. Grenier had finished this morning's race in 7th position and Pelletier, in 3rd.

Alexander Ruiz, David Ostella, Gianmarco Raimondo - who will probably lose championship lead to Rossi at the end of this difficult week-end for him - and Jorge Goncalvez completed the race sheet.
