McLaughlin's strategic prowess secures IndyCar victory at Barber.

Scott McLaughlin won the Children’s of Alabama Indy GP at Barber Motorsports Park, beating polesitter Romain Grosjean, who led the majority of the race. McLaughlin's victory came at the expense of Grosjean, who succumbed to pressure late in the contest as he locked a brake and slid wide in Turn 5 on lap 72. Will Power secured third, his first podium of the season, as his team’s gamble to start the race on the faster but less durable Firestone alternate tires paid off with a 1-3 finish.
