SCOTT MCLAUGHLIN No. 3 CLARIENCE CHEVROLET
RACE
START: 10TH
FINISH: 4TH
RACE RUNDOWN: Scott McLaughlin and the No. 3 Clarience Chevrolet team looked to be in position to leave the Snap-on INDYCAR Weekend at the Milwaukee Mile with a pair of podium finishes, but a near incident with the No. 9 of Scott Dixon at the end of the Snap-on Makers and Fixers 250 saw him cross the finish line in the fourth position. The first race of the weekend was postponed from Saturday to Sunday afternoon after the completion of 91 laps due to rain showers over the Milwaukee area. Prior to the red flag, McLaughlin had made his second pit stop of the day and restarted the race from the 17th position. After struggling the handling on the Clarience Chevy on Saturday afternoon, McLaughlin reported the handling to be improved as he quickly raced his way inside the top 10. The call from the No. 3 timing stand to undercut the final pit stop of the day on Lap 193 allowed McLaughlin to jump from the eighth position prior to his pit stop to third after the stops had cycled through. He would hang on to the third position until two laps remaining when he was held up by Dixon on the exit of Turn 2, allowing the No. 76 of Rinus VeeKay to make the pass and drop McLaughlin to fourth at the checkered flag.
