Esteban Guerrieri(Sam Schmidt Motorsports) earned his second Firestone Indy Lights victory of the season in the first of a doubleheader weekend at the City Centre Airport circuit.
Guerrieri overtook polesitter Newgarden in Turn 5 of the first lap on the 2.24-mile, 13-turn circuit and was in command through the three restarts.
Guerrieri completed 36 of the scheduled 40 laps (the race was on a 60-minute limit) because of three caution periods that totaled 25 minutes.
Newgarden, the Firestone Indy Lights championship points leader by 26 over Guerrieri, finished 0.6524 behind for his fifth top-5 of the season.
On Lap 27, Peter Dempsey (Andretti Autosport) touched tires with the No. 3 Nevoni/Sam Schmidt Motorsports car driven by Victor Carbone and both cars when flying upside down.
That opened the door for Oliver Webb in the No. 12 Jensen MotorSport car, who finished third in his series debut.
Stefan Wilson (Andretti Autosport) finished fourth while Bruno Andrade (Bryan Herta Autosport) completed the top-5
