2018 continues to prove to the rest of the racing world that the Verizon IndyCar Series cannot stop winning.

The quality of the competitors in the field is top notch, and to boot the racing this season has been phenomenal.

In 2017, though, Rossi was the perfect example of how a sophomore should perform, scoring a win from the pole in the penultimate race at Watkins Glen and three podium finishes to finish seventh in the final season tally. Although he faced three DNFs during the season, he made up for it with several aggressive runs including a fifth in the first Belle Isle race, a third at Pocono, and a second-place run at Toronto.
