Ilott dodges Laguna tripwires en route to fifth
Callum Ilott, driving for Juncos Hollinger Racing, overcame numerous setbacks during the IndyCar season finale at Laguna Seca to finish in fifth place, matching his career-best result. He experienced a broken front wing, spun out twice, went off the road at Turn 10, and had a bent rear, making it difficult to control the car. However, the team’s strategy of planning for a two-stop race played into their favor, as early cautions worked in their favor. Ilott had to save fuel throughout the race and was pleased with the points earned, although he believed they could have achieved even more if not for some contact with other drivers. The race itself was marked by a series of incidents, with the challenges of the new track surface and the difficulties of restarts causing issues for all drivers.
