This prompted a two-lap sprint to the finish from lap 42 with Bird leading.[4] Sarrazin took third after Abt slowed with a battery management system failure on the final lap; Abt narrowly avoided collecting his teammate di Grassi as he endeavoured to rejoin the race.[126] Vergne attempted to pass Bird by braking later than him, but he was not close enough to affect an overtake.[127] Bird held the lead to claim his fourth career victory and become the first driver to win a motor race in New York City.[130]
