For Meira, it was especially sweet; he had been sidelined for nearly a full year after suffering broken vertebrae in a crash at Indianapolis last year. Now fully recovered, he and the team showed the promise many thought that had.

“It couldn't be much better than that.,” said an emotional Meira, who was nearly in tears afterward. “I think Will (Power) can relate to it with a back injury and all that, it gets pretty uncertain at some times and having a team behind you making sure that the seat is available, makes a big difference during the recovery. This is the start of the big thank you I have to give to A.J. (Foyt) and ABC Supply. I hope we get better. We overcame a lot here. Like Will said before, it was a mixed up race. I think whether you were able to keep your nose clean and were fast enough to make up position in all conditions, you could come out with a good result and that's what we did.”
