Marcus Armstrong led the field into the final lap before Malukas and Rosenqvist overtook him to battle for the victory.
Broadcaster Will Buxton captured the tension: "Armstrong goes now. Malukas goes with him.
One lap to decide it all at Indianapolis!"
Malukas immediately challenged for the lead as the cars entered Turn 1. Buxton noted, "Malukas hunting, hunting.
To the high side! Around the outside and into the lead!
Malukas leads with one to go!"
Rosenqvist then drew alongside his teammate to mount a counter-attack. "Rosenqvist around the outside of teammate through one!
Into the short chute in (Turn) 2," Buxton said.
The drivers fought for position as Malukas attempted to secure his first victory.
Townsend Bell commented, "Teammates battle side by side, but out in front the young American chasing his first win off Turn 2!"
Malukas held the lead momentarily while the Meyer Shank Racing drivers battled behind him. Buxton added, "David Malukas goes to defend!
The MSR drivers still side-by-side, but will that play into Malukas' hands? And here comes Pato O'Ward, but Malukas is out in front.
It's not over yet! Malukas has to defend!"
