It appeared that Mikhail Aleshin and Ryan Hunter-Reay might duel for the victory during Monday's ABC Supply 500. However, Will Power quietly improved his car as the race went on and got up with the leaders in the final quarter of the race. A quick stop during the second-to-last round of stops put Power in the lead, and he soon benefited from mechanical problems on Hunter-Reay and a fading Aleshin.

While Aleshin recovered and rallied to second, to couldn't quite catch Power in the final laps, allowing Power to hold on for the win. "I just have to thank Verizon and for all the access they give the fans and I also want to thank Chevrolet. The Chevy engine was awesome today and the body kit was obviously also awesome. So you know it was a very good comeback and I am very happy to win here," said an elated Power.

Hunter-Reay, rebounded from a practice crash and electrical issues to finish third, passing Josef Newgarden with two laps remaining in the process. Newgarden hung on for fourth while Sebastien Bourdais ran the final 40 laps of the race on one set of tires to finish fifth.

The initial start was marred by a waveoff and a lap one crash involving Takuma Sato, who spun in the middle of turn three while running third. Though the impact was significant, Sato emerged unhurt.

Racing resumed on lap nine with polesitter Mikhail Aleshin battling hard with Josef Newgarden. The two drivers swapped the lead several times in the opening laps while Hunter-Reay began charging up through the field. He was up to 14th before Sato crashed, and cracked the top ten after the restart. By the end of the opening round of stops, he had closed in on Aleshin for the lead, actually passing and holding off Newgarden for second.

The three of them continued their battle through another round of stops before another caution flew on lap 63, this for the most dramatic incident of the race. Alexander Rossi was exiting his pit stall as Charlie Kimball entered his. The two made contact, launching Rossi's car into the air and into the path of Helio Castroneves. Rossi effectively landed on the Penske driver before rolling off and coming to a stop on pit lane. Though dramatic, neither driver was hurt, but both cars were out on the spot.

Racing resumed on lap 70 and the battle for the lead continued between Aleshin, Hunter-Reay, and Newgarden. Eventually, Hunter-Reay and Newgarden elected to fall in behind Aleshin and they maintained their order through more pit stops. However, on lap 135, Hunter-Reay began flexing his muscle more and dove under Aleshin for the lead entering turn three. Newgarden followed suit quickly, with Will Power doing the same after quietly working his way into the top five after a slow start.

Hunter-Reay continued to lead until another round of pit stops began on lap 149. When the cycle concluded, Power, who stayed out the longest, ended up in the lead. But, another quickly caution flew when teammate and points leader Simon Pagenaud bottomed out in the middle of turn one and drifted high into the wall. With the car damaged beyond repair, Pagenaud dropped out and finished 18th, opening the door for Power to make a big points again. "The car bottomed and I went straight to the wall. Really weird because I had bottoming but not to that extent," Pagenaud explained. "I just lost control of the steering. It felt okay leaving the pits. Turn 1 was fine. Turn 2 was fine. I don't know. That one's weird but it's definitely a bit of a shame."

Racing resumed on lap 164, which saw Hunter-Reay's day unravel just after he overtook Power for the lead. A strange electrical problem shut the engine off in the middle of turn two. While he got it refired and rejoined the action, the lost a lap while coasting around. But, he got a lifeline for debris caution a few laps later after Tony Kanaan lost one of his rear winglets.

Hunter-Reay took a wave around as others pitted, with Power holding the lead as Sebastien Bourdais came out in second after the team did not change tires.

When racing resumed with 21 laps to go, Power shot off into the distance while Aleshin and Newgarden made quick work of Bourdais and tried closing the gap to the Penske driver. Aleshin came within a few car lengths of Power, but was never close enough to mount a serious challenge. "Mikhail was giving me a lot of heat there at the end. I was like, 'Man is he going to get me?' He was close," Power of the late-race battle. "I felt like if I could take his air in three but I felt if he had to lift there, I would be okay, but he was very strong. That is as good as it gets. No mistakes. Great stops. As an overall team effort, that was as good of a day you could possible get."

Aleshin was disappointed to again miss out on victory, but admitted Power had the upperhand at the end. "Unfortunately, in the end, I just couldn't get Will," he asserted. "He was just too fast. Seriously, I was on the edge. I almost crashed a couple times when I was right behind him. I had wiggles and I just couldn't get him."

Behind them, Hunter-Reay ripped through the in the final laps and overtook Newgarden with the two laps remaining to take third and hold the final spot on the podium. While he salvaged a strong finish, Hunter-Reay was gutted to miss a victory. "Going through Turn 2 it just shut off. I cycled the car once, nothing happened and then I got on pit lane and cycled it again. Power cycle. It turns off then it re-fired and we were a lap down. I had to come through the field twice. The car was a rocket ship. It's a shame," said the Andretti Autosport driver.

Newgarden and Sebastien Bourdais completed the top five. The Verizon IndyCar Series now returns to Texas Motor Speedway to complete the postponed Firestone 600 from June. The race will roll off at 9:00 p.m. and resume on lap 72.
