“Well that’s it for round two of the Indy GP. We had a really tough day. It was a good start. We kind of fell back a little on the primaries as we anticipated, but we had the speed when we put the [Firestone Alternate] reds on that we needed. Unfortunately, we had some hiccups in the pits that set us back and then we got absolutely railroaded and taken out by [Sebastien] Bourdais. INDYCAR decided not to call it and we lost a total of eight or nine spots, which put an end to our day. I let everyone know what I thought about it afterwards, all parties involved. We’ll move onto Gateway and hopefully have a good weekend there.”
A historic racing weekend at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is underway with the NTT INDYCAR SERIES kicking off a motorsports tripleheader. Late race contact from Bourdais devastated Ryan Hunter-Reay’s top-10 run, forcing the 28 machine to the rear of the field with no time to recover.
