Strange weekend for RLL at BarberMotorPark IndyCar with one car way ahead of the others
Starting from a highly encouraging sixth place with a two-stop strategy, Lundgaard initially struggled on the Firestone primary compound and fell to tenth by Lap 4. But as those who had started on alternate tires started to feel their tires fade away, and the three-stoppers pitted, the Danish sophomore moved forward. He passed Colton Herta and Rinus VeeKay on consecutive laps, and was up to fifth by the time he pitted.
Following the race’s only restart, Lundgaard got around the 2021 champion, to run fourth but in the next pitstop sequence he lost out to the Ganassi #10 crew, and also Will Power whose three-stop strategy had seen him jump the majority of two-stoppers. “We had a good start and the #45 Hy-Vee Honda guys had some of the best stops we’ve had all season,” said Lundgaard, who scored his first podium finish last year on his way to the Rookie of the Year title. “We’ve got to take the positives from this weekend.
“My dad told me, ‘Think about driving and what you enjoyed growing up’ and that was racing hard – and I did that today.”.
