“It was a rough day. We were running seventh and eighth and then we had an electrical issue that caused a misfire. It cut power on the bottom and top ends. We tried a couple on-track fixes, but they didn’t work and a fix in the pits would have taken too long. So, we were running all day about half of the horsepower and had to save fuel. It was pretty much a full nightmare scenario and certainly not what we hoped for today. The DHL team did a good job toughing it out during a very frustrating race, and we’re all looking forward to getting onto the oval Tuesday.”
- STARTED: 13th // FINISHED: 19th
- CHAMPIONSHIP: 9th (125 pts.)
- OF NOTE: Was contending in the top eight before an electrical issue resulted in an engine misfire // The misfire issue coupled with the need to save fuel dropped the 28 back in the field
With the INDYCAR Grand Prix in the books, the Andretti Autosport stable of four grows to six as the team looks ahead to Opening Day at Indianapolis Motor Speedway Tuesday, ahead of the 102nd Running of the Indianapolis 500-Mile Race on May 27.
