Rookie Alexander Rossi, driver of the No. 98 Castrol Edge/Curb Honda, scores his first top-10 of the season in the Angie’s List Grand Prix of Indianapolis at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course.
The Nevada City, California native started the race in the 12th position and ran near the top-10 for most of the race. He would receive a penalty on Lap 51 for Exceeding Track Limits, which he had to yield his position at the time. He battled back from the penalty and when the race ended he came in 10th position.
“We had a really questionable penalty which cost us quite a it on the next to last stint- we’ll need to look at that and understand what that was because I don’t understand it,” he said. “Considering I think that the pace that we had was one of the best on track, it’s very disappointing to come away with 10th. I would’ve been really pleased with a 10th a week ago, it’s weird how goals shift.
“The team did a really good job and the car was pretty fantastic the whole race, it’s just unfortunate we came away 10th, but it’s something to build on for the future.”
Next up will be the 100th Running of the Indianapolis 500 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which will be the Andretti Herta Autosport driver’s first run in an Indy 500.
