This race was the record 407th and final IndyCar race for the great Mario Andretti. He qualified twelfth, but for the pace laps was given honorary pole position. Former CART flagman Nick Fornoro came back to wave the green flag for Mario's last race.
Canadian Paul Tracy won the pole and set a new track record of 1:10.058 seconds. On Lap 82 Mario's career ended a few laps too early as he slowed with engine failure and ended 19th. Tracy won the race finishing ahead of Raul Boesel, who finished second for the fifth time in his IndyCar career. Fellow Canadian Jacques Villeneuve was third, followed by Emerson Fittipaldi, Teo Fabi, Arie Luyendyk, and Adrian Fernandez also on the lead lap. Next came Nigel Mansell one lap down. This race was also the last for Mansell.
