Michael McDowell clinched a NASCAR Cup Series playoff berth, adding a win at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday to his victory in the 2021 Daytona 500 with a dominant race on the road course.
McDowell made it look easy this time, too, winning the first stage, finishing behind only Denny Hamlin in the second stage and then inheriting the lead on Lap 54 during a round of pit stops and never trailed again. He led a career-best 54 laps in the 82-lap race.“These guys gave me everything today,” he said. “We had the fastest car. I don’t know if it was dominant, but it felt dominant.”
Shane van Gisbergen finished 10th in his second career start, failing to become the first Cup driver to win his first two career starts. Van Gisbergen won in his NASCAR debut on the streets of Chicago in early July.His family is with him now after a win at Indy.
