Caio Collet is also serving a six-spot grid penalty for an excessive engine change.

Predictions for the IndyCar race at Portland from IndyStar's Zion Brown
David Malukas, the runner-up in the points standings, has five podium finishes without a win. Can he rise to the top this weekend? "Because of the fiasco that sent Malukas to the hospital in Nashville, he'll still have to serve a six-spot grid penalty that was scheduled for Nashville because of an excessive engine change. I think starting three rows back will keep Malukas from breaking through in Portland."
Christian Lundgaard's average finish on road courses is 1.5. Where will he finish this weekend? " I say Lundgaard wins again. He finished second in Portland last year and has only upped his game since. That would be three road-course wins for Lundgaard this year."
