Pato O'Ward of McLaren clinched his third win of the season at the Milwaukee Mile, commanding 133 of the 250 laps and finishing ahead of Will Power and Conor Daly. Power's second place reduced Alex Palou's championship lead to 43 points with two races left, keeping the title race alive. Daly moved from 25th to third, giving Juncos Hollinger Racing their first podium finish since 2016. The race marked IndyCar's return to Milwaukee after an eight-year hiatus. O'Ward's win was seen as a statement after expressing frustration over IndyCar's absence in Mexico City, contrasting with NASCAR's recent announcement of a race there.
