The 2017 Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama was the third round of the 2017 IndyCar Series season.

Team Penske dominated the session, taking the top three spots with Will Power starting from pole position with a time of 1:06.9614 at an average speed of 127.95 mph (205.92 km/h).

At the start of the race, Will Power and Hélio Castroneves maintained their positions, while Scott Dixon was able to pass Simon Pagenaud for third place.

Further back in the field, Alexander Rossi, despite a poor qualifying result, had managed to move into the top ten and was continuing to improve.

Behind them, Castroneves fell back even further, as both Pagenaud and Hinchcliffe were able to make faster pit stops than the Brazilian veteran.

On lap 62, just before the opening for the final round of stops, the second caution of the race came when Spencer Pigot, who had been running eighth, spun coming out of turn 5 and stalled just off course.

With Kimball's final pit stop still coming, however, Power was essentially still the leader of the race.

Sébastien Bourdais managed an eighth place finish on the day, allowing him to maintain his points lead.
