Race

Originally set for a 3:46 PM ET start, the race was then rescheduled for 3:07 PM ET on May 14, 2022. After a lightning delay caused the Indy Lights race to be suspended and resumed after the NTT IndyCar Series feature, the race started at 3:46 PM ET as planned. As it was declared a wet race, series officials removed the initial 85 lap distance and replaced it with a two hour time limit.
