The machines used in the race are from the SVRA "Group 6" class, which includes Corvettes, Camaros, Mustangs, and other selected big-bore production sports cars and sedans from 1963 to 1972.

Nearly all of the events take place on the combined road course at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, with the exception of an oval track exhibition featuring historic Indy roadsters and machines from the 1950s-1970s that was held from 2014 to 2018.

Klutt started the race in the #42C Corvette, then pitted during an early yellow to hand to car over to Unser, who drove to victory.

The team of Max Papis and Curt Vogt led the race early, but lost the lead when a caution came out during their pit stop.

Robby Unser and André Ahrlé drove a 1965 Cobra CompR to win the A Production class and the overall victory.

[10] Unser drove the second half of the race, and grabbed the lead on a restart, after a yellow due to a spin by Tom Bagley on lap 13.

[12] Former NASCAR champion and 2002 Brickyard 400 winner Bill Elliott teamed with co-driver Ray Evernham (himself a three-time winning crew chief at Indianapolis) to field the special "Garage 34" entry.

[14] The car dropped out early however, due to a broken driveshaft, before Elliott could take his stint behind the wheel.

On lap 8, O'Donnell lost traction in turn one, and the car of Ed Sevadjian/Willy T. Ribbs slipped by for the lead.

Ribbs was charging and set the fastest lap of the race (1:37.823), and effectively would become the leader once the pit stops were completed.

Willy T. Ribbs re-took the lead but with just minutes left in the race, the engine threw a rod and came to a stop out on the track.

Sarah Fisher benefited greatly from the resulting full-course caution, and was able to complete the team's driver switch under the yellow.

After suffering a broken driveshaft in the 2016 race, the team of Ray Evernham & Bill Elliott finished third in the "A" production class and fourth overall.

The #3 Camaro of Sam LeComte/Jaques Lazier threw a rod as it was being driven the grid, and the team scrambled to find a back-up car.

Jaques Lazier drive the #27 Corvette to a third-place finish in the "B" class, but was disqualified in the post-race when officials determined he passed cars during the caution.

Father and son swept the front row, as the car of Matt Brabham/Michael Donohue qualified for pole position, and Geoff Brabham/Jody O'Donnell started second.

B Production Class entries swept the top three overall positions, with Matt Brabham/Michael Donohue winning, Max Papis/Curt Vogt second, and Ray Evernham/Bill Elliott third.

With Sevadjian behind the wheel, he caught up to Klutt and took the lead just before both cars made their mandatory pit stop and driver change.

Lyn St. James suffered a hard crash in turn 14, bringing out another full-course yellow, and the race finished under caution.

After dominating the race the two previous years, and both times dropping out with mechanical problems, Willy T. Ribbs was finally victorious in the Indy Legends Charity Pro–Am.
