Josef Newgarden’s victory from the third starting position in Sunday’s 108th Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge catapults him from outside the power rankings to well inside them.

Who else joins Newgarden leading into the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear this Sunday (noon ET, USA Network, Peacock, INDYCAR Radio Network)?

↓10. Felix Rosenqvist (No. 60 AutoNation/SiriusXM Honda; Last Rank: 8)

One bad finish isn’t going to drop Rosenqvist completely out of the rankings. Rosenqvist has qualified second, first, fifth, 10th and ninth this season and finished fifth, ninth, fourth, 10th and 27th, respectively. The mechanical problem on Lap 55 of Sunday’s 108th Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge dropped Rosenqvist from fifth in points to ninth.

↑9. Pato O’Ward (No. 5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet; Last Rank: NR)

O’Ward halted a rough patch of finishes of 16th, 23rd and 13th, respectively, to come away a despondent yet heroic runner-up in Sunday’s 108th Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge. The prior results are why he’s not higher … yet.

↑8. Kyle Kirkwood (No. 27 AutoNation Honda; Last Rank: 9)

The Andretti Global driver had a solid outing in the 108th Running of the Indianapolis 500, finishing seventh. Kirkwood hasn’t finished worse than 11th in five races this season, putting him 10th in points.

↓7. Colton Herta (No. 26 Gainbridge Honda; Last Rank: 3)

Herta had a quiet Month of May. The Sonsio Grand Prix was a championship-saving day for him by climbing from 24th at the start to seventh at the finish, including rallying from an early-race hip check by teammate Marcus Ericsson. In the 108th Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge, Herta qualified 13th and climbed to second, but a crash relegated him to 23rd. Herta also has finished fifth in St. Petersburg, second in the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach and eighth at Barber Motorsports Park.

↑6. Alexander Rossi (No. 7 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet; Last Rank: 10)

Rossi was the best non-Team Penske qualifier for the Indy 500, fourth. He finished fourth after being in the fight for victory over the last 20 laps, his fourth top-10 finish in five races this season. He finished eighth in the May 11 Sonsio Grand Prix.

↓5. Scott Dixon (No. 9 PNC Bank Chip Ganassi Racing Honda, Last Rank: 4)

Dixon is heating up again. He has recorded three top four-finishes in his last four starts this season, including a charge from 21st to finish third in Sunday’s 108th Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge.

↓4. Will Power (No. 12 Verizon Business Team Penske Chevrolet; Last Rank: 3)

Power doesn’t drop too far following a crash and 24th-place finish in the Indy 500. He qualified second and has three top two-finishes in five races this season.

↑3. Josef Newgarden (No. 2 Shell Powering Progress Team Penske Chevrolet; Last Rank: NR)

An Indianapolis 500 triumph holds enough weight to boost Newgarden from unranked to third. Newgarden’s daring, final-lap move in Turn 3 propelled him to a second consecutive Indianapolis 500 victory. The only reasons he’s not higher are prior finishes of 16th and 17th.

↑2. Scott McLaughlin (No. 3 Pennzoil Team Penske Chevrolet; Last Rank: 5)

McLaughlin finished the Month of May with a pair of sixth-place finishes. McLaughlin earned NTT P1 Award honors for “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” with the fastest four-lap average pole speed in “500” history. A week later, McLaughlin led the most laps in the race, 66 of 200. His average finish over the last three races is 4.33. That gives him the nod over Newgarden’s emergence.

↔1. Alex Palou (No. 10 DHL Chip Ganassi Racing Honda; Last Rank: 1)

Hard to drop Palou off the perch. The NTT INDYCAR SERIES points leader leaving the Month of May has 24 consecutive top-eight finishes, including The Thermal Club $1 Million Challenge exhibition race, with eight wins and 14 podium finishes. He won the Sonsio Grand Prix and finished fifth in the “500” during May at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
