Recap
Simon Pagenaud claimed his first career pole on an oval. The Germany national team claimed it's third consecutive top 5 start on an oval.
 * Qualifying

The only team to not qualify was the Slovenia national team. This was the first race out of 4 consecutive to see a European team fail to qualify. The first caution came on lap 136 by Hélio Castroneves crashing. This result was the sending off of Apolo Ohno and all other BATC season 1 contestants. Had Helio Castroneves not crash, Lugia would have traveled to Wimbledon. Sceptile, Froslass, and Sylveon cried after the crash and thus eliminated from traveling to Wimbledon.
 * Race

The second caution was for CFH Racing teammates Josef Newgarden and 2012 winner Ed Carpenter.
