* Hunter-Reay is the 69th different driver to win (including co-winners in 1924 and 1941).

* Hunter-Reay led a field-high 56 laps after starting 19th. The last time a driver led the most laps of the race from a lower starting position was in 1975, when Wally Dallenbach led a race-high 96 laps after starting from the 21st position.
