 McDowell, the winner of the Indy Road Course a year ago, as Denny Hamlin at turn number three is tightening up to Tyler Reddick. He peeks to the inside, but Reddick makes the wide arc and closes the door, exiting turn three into the chute. And he maintains about a car and a half length lead. Reddick, the pole setter, through the short chute, exits turn number four. That lead about three car lengths, and then another five car lengths, Hamlin and Elliott.
