Marcus Armstrong achieved his best qualifying performance of the year by securing the second-row spot for the Indy Toronto race today. Despite setting a final lap time of 1:00.3535, he self-critically labeled the lap as “pretty average.” Nonetheless, he lightened the mood by mentioning that his disappointment was eased by receiving a free hat for finishing third. Looking ahead to the race tomorrow, Armstrong acknowledged that it would present a new challenge compared to the qualifying session. His lap time was slightly slower than Herta’s and marked his best qualifying since the beginning of the season, with a podium finish in Iowa boosting his confidence for the upcoming race in Toronto. Fox Sports aimed to instill self-belief in Armstrong, suggesting that he has the potential to achieve even greater success, potentially securing his first win in the sport in his 12 starts. However, he faces stiff competition from other talented drivers like Herta and Kirkwood, which he is fully aware of as he prepares for the race.
