Indy NXT Laguna Seca: McElrea dominates shunt-packed race
In the opening laps, McElrea took an early lead and built a gap of 2.7 seconds ahead of the rest of the field. There was some intense battling between Jacob Abel and Louis Foster, resulting in contact and accusations of blocking. Despite starting in last place, Nolan Siegel made significant progress, moving up to 12th. McElrea’s lead was diminished after a caution period caused by Foster’s off-course incident. The race resumed, but was briefly halted again due to Kiko Porto getting stuck in the gravel trap. McElrea maintained his lead and pulled away from the field. Abel received a drive-thru penalty, dropping him down the order. Another caution period occurred due to debris, and with five laps to go, Kyffin Simpon advanced to fourth place. McElrea continued to extend his lead and crossed the finish line first. Rasmussen holds a 51-point lead going into the final race of the season tomorrow. Additionally, Myles Rowe secured a ride with HMD Motorsports in the Indy NXT series with Force Indy.
