Schmidt Peterson Motorsports driver James Hinchcliffe emerged victorious, having challenged at the front for most of the race, to become only the second Canadian – after Paul Tracy – to win in Long Beach.
His nearest challenger Ryan Hunter-Reay ended up slowing with six laps to go, with Hinchcliffe holding off St. Petersburg winner Sebastien Bourdais in a three-lap run to the flag.
Josef Newgarden rounded out the top three to secure his first podium with the Penske team.
