The race began on Sunday the 27th, but the race was red flagged due to excessive rain after only 6 laps were completed. The remainder of the race was rescheduled for 10:00am the following day, with all retired cars allowed to restart in the positions they held at the time of the red flag, albeit laps down if they were on the Sunday. The final 61 laps were completed without further weather stoppages. Sébastien Bourdais took the race win from the pole as well as a stranglehold on his third consecutive season championship with his closest competitors A. J. Allmendinger and Justin Wilson both finishing well back.
