The race served as the 13th round of the 2019 IndyCar Series season.[1] This marked the 35th time that Indy car racing had raced at Mid-Ohio.[2] The event was supported by races from the three Road to Indy ladder series as well as Stadium Super Trucks and the Global MX-5 Cup.[3] Will Power secured his fourth pole at Mid-Ohio, a record for the track.
