Sting Ray Robb claimed both poles and one win, along with setting a new qualifying and race record, while teammate Artem Petrov delivered the team one more podium for the season

The Road to Indy Presented by Cooper Tires yesterday officially crowned its 2020 series champions and additional winners in an abbreviated awards ceremony held trackside at the Mahaffey Theater.
