During Sunday’s IndyCar race at Road America, David Malukas spun into the gravel trap after touching the grass under braking into Turn 3 on the first lap.
Despite the setback, Malukas managed to recover and climbed back through the field over 55 laps to finish seventh, behind his team-mate Santino Ferrucci who secured third place.
This marked the team’s best road course result since 2015 at Belle Isle, Detroit, where Takuma Sato and Jack Hawksworth finished in the top positions.
Malukas described the race as chaotic but fun, joking about hallucinating from the heat and spotting bears on lap 35.
Team President Larry Foyt was pleased with the team’s performance, especially after an up-and-down day that saw both cars finishing strong despite early setbacks.
