FREEDOM 100 POST-RACE NOTES:
This is Wade Cunningham's first win of the season and the second victory of his Indy Pro Series career.
Cunningham is the fourth consecutive pole sitter to win the Freedom 100, joining Ed Carpenter (2003), Thiago Medeiros (2004) and Jaime Camara (2005).
This is the second win for Brian Stewart Racing in the Indy Pro Series. It previously won with Cunningham at California Speedway last October.
Cunningham has finished second and first in his first two starts at Indianapolis.
This was the fastest race in Indy Pro Series history, with an average speed of 184.679. The previous best average speed was 173.112 mph at Michigan Speedway in 2004.
This is the fifth Indy Pro Series race to run caution-free. The last caution-free race was at Pikes Peak in August, 2004.
Jay Howard finished second, his fourth consecutive top-three finish.
Jaime Camara finished third, his best finish of the season. His previous best finish was 11th at Homestead-Miami Speedway earlier this year.
Geoff Dodge, who started 19th, finished eighth, the biggest move of any driver in the field.
