Ericsson Claims Victory in Markham | Calgary News

Marcus Ericsson stunned the field with a last-lap pass on Romain Grosjean to claim his fifth IndyCar win at the brand-new Ontario Honda Dealers Indy in Markham — a dramatic, high-stakes showdown that capped a race filled with collisions, cautions, and championship implications. Grosjean’s strong second-place finish marked his best of the season, while teammate Will Power rounded out the podium. The race, marred by early track delays and a compressed schedule forcing multiple series to share the venue, still drew praise for its thrilling action and enthusiastic fans.
