Carlos Munoz (Andretti) started from pole and never looked back to win the Firestone Indy Lights race at Barber Motorsports Park.

Munoz held his advantage throughout the race to finish just over five seconds clear of Jack Hawksworth in what was an eventless round with only nine cars at the start. For the Andretti driver it was a third-career win.

The only significant position change came in the battle for third, where Gabby Chaves was able to get ahead of Sage Karam to complete the podium.

Zach Veach fell out of the podium battle after suffering a puncture, leaving Jorge Goncalvez to finish fifth ahead of Peter Dempsey, Victor Carbone and Juan Pablo Garcia.
