<P> On a restart on 194 , Oriol Servià , Stefan Wilson , and Jack Harvey were all attempting to stretch their fuel to the finish , gambling on a late caution , and a possible surprise victory . However , with four laps to go , both Wilson and Harvey were forced to pit for fuel , as was Servià a lap later . Will Power took the lead and cruised to victory , having led 59 laps . Polesitter Ed Carpenter led 65 laps and finished second , his best - career Indy finish . 2016 winner Alexander Rossi had an outstanding charge from 32nd to 4th , leading one lap during the race . Power became the first driver to win both the IndyCar Grand Prix and the Indianapolis 500 , as well as the first driver to sweep both in the same year . </P>
