“I think that (P5) was as good as we were going to get today. We really worked hard on saving fuel – we had to have a lot of discipline there to pull it off. Some guys pitted a little later than us, they were able to go a little heavier, a little harder, so we missed out on the podium because of that. All in all a pretty good day for the DHL Honda.”
Today’s Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama proved to be a roller coaster ride similar to the track’s 2.3-mile, 17-turn layout. Two-time Barber race winner Ryan Hunter-Reay brought home the DHL Honda in fifth, in addition to securing the fastest lap of the race, after starting from the 18th grid position. Series sophomore Carlos Muñoz gained 16 positions to come to the twin checkers in sixth place following a start from P22, while third-generation racer Marco Andretti captured another top-10 finish for the trio in P10.
The Andretti Autosport squad will next compete at the Grand Prix of Indianapolis Saturday, May 9 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and will be joined by series veteran Justin Wilson who will pilot the No. 25 Honda.
