Ten years ago, Andretti Autosport arrived at Long Beach seeking a hat-trick victory. James Hinchcliffe had begun the team’s 2013 campaign with a win at St. Petersburg, followed by teammate Ryan Hunter-Reay’s victory at Barber. At that time, the IndyCar field was still uncovering the secrets of the new DW12 chassis, providing opportunities for underdog teams to make an impact. A.J. Foyt Racing, based in Texas, had signed Takuma Sato to replace Mike Conway, with the primary goal of getting to know each other. Despite not being on many radars, Sato finished eighth in his debut race and had a mediocre performance at Barber. Both the team and driver had an extended history without significant wins. The race at Long Beach in April 2013 holds a special place even after a decade for those involved, and it remains a memorable moment.
