Alexander Rossi secured his best career grid position in the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, placing his #20 Ed Carpenter Racing Chevy in second place, narrowly missing out on the pole position to Alex Palou.
Having been with ECR for one and a half years, Rossi believes his team is now in a stronger position than ever, with a real chance to aim for pole position rather than settling for final rounds.
Rossi expressed confidence in ECR’s potential, emphasizing the organization’s competitiveness and the higher level of performance compared to last year.
Despite mixed results this season, with three top-10 finishes in six races and currently sitting 13th in points, Rossi remains optimistic about the team’s progress and aims to consistently compete at the highest level.
A strong performance in the upcoming Indy 500, including potentially repeating his 2016 victory, would be a significant achievement in demonstrating the team’s capabilities and competitiveness in the championship.
