The Ontario Honda Dealers Indy at Markham was a chaotic inaugural event, with Marcus Ericsson mounting a strong charge in the closing stages of the race to claim his fifth IndyCar victory. The action resulted in the highest number of overtakes on a street course this season and the first podium without a Ganassi or Penske driver in 22 races! What else stood out? We analyze the race weekend through a series of numbers!

242 - A staggering 242 on-track overtakes for position were recorded during the race! That makes it the race with the most overtakes on a street course this season, ahead of Detroit in second place with 172 overtakes.

74.12 - In an effort to build as large a gap as possible before his final pit stop, Marcus Ericsson set the fastest lap of the race by a considerable margin. On Lap 68, he posted a lap time of 1:14.120 - more than a second faster than the second-fastest lap, set by Scott Dixon.

36 - Kyffin Simpson had an unhappy race, being passed on track no fewer than 36 times! That put him just ahead of Dennis Hauger in this classification, with Hauger being passed 33 times.

28 - The McLaren drivers had cars that were particularly effective at making passes; Pato O'Ward and Christian Lundgaard recorded the most overtakes in the race, with 28 and 23, respectively.

23 - Alex Palou may not have finished on the podium, but he still strengthened his championship position after direct rivals Kyle Kirkwood and David Malukas hit the wall. As a result, the championship leader extended his advantage by 23 points to 133 points overall. That means he could secure his fifth championship in Washington if he scores 29 more points than Kirkwood, 24 more than Malukas and 22 more than Lundgaard.

22 - Will Power was the driver who gained the most positions from his starting spot; he started the race 25th and last and finished third - a gain of 22 positions!

22 - It was notable that neither Chip Ganassi Racing nor Team Penske had a car on the podium this race. The last time this happened was at Gateway last year, 22 races ago!

15 - The Markham race was not a good one for the rookies in the field; none of them saw the checkered flag. Mick Schumacher crashed early in the race, Caio Collet parked his car after 67 laps with mechanical problems and Dennis Hauger ran out of fuel on the final lap. The Norwegian was still the highest-finishing rookie in 15th place.

11 - It came close to being the 24th of the 25 full-time IndyCar drivers to finish a race in the top 10. Sting Ray Robb recorded his best finish of the season with an 11th-place finish, narrowly missing out on the top 10.

6 - For the sixth time, Romain Grosjean narrowly missed out on his first IndyCar victory. Thanks to a smart and bold strategy by Dale Coyne Racing, the Frenchman finished an IndyCar race in second place for the sixth time in his career.

5 - Five different drivers led at least one lap during the race: Louis Foster (32 laps), Romain Grosjean (28 laps), Marcus Ericsson (21 laps), Nolan Siegel (8 laps) and Will Power (1 lap).

5 - Marcus Ericsson's victory was the fifth IndyCar win of his career. That moves him into a tie for 76th on the all-time list of IndyCar race winners, alongside drivers such as Greg Moore, Nigel Mansell, Jacques Villeneuve and Teo Fabi.

5 - Once again, it was a very strong race for Honda. For the fifth time this season, the Japanese manufacturer swept the podium, helped in part by its engines being more fuel-efficient than Chevrolet's. The highest-finishing Chevrolet driver was Pato O'Ward in fifth.

4 - The dramatic season for ECR just doesn't seem to be coming to an end; for the fourth time this year, neither of the team's cars finished the race. After the Grand Prix of Indianapolis, the Indianapolis 500 and Nashville, neither car made it to the finish in Markham either. Christian Rasmussen was an innocent victim of a collision between Dennis Hauger and Scott Dixon, while Alexander Rossi was forced to park his car due to mechanical problems.

2 - Despite the chaos in the middle part of the race, race control only had to hand out two penalties. Marcus Armstrong received a 10-second stop-and-go penalty for ignoring instructions from the Safety Team by driving away without permission, while Nolan Siegel received a drive-through penalty for his collision with Josef Newgarden.

2 - Dale Coyne Racing could certainly use more races in Canada; for the second consecutive year, the team finished second in the only Canadian race! Last year, Rinus VeeKay finished second for the team in Toronto, while this year it was Romain Grosjean in Markham.
