Andretti Autosport:
The No. 26 hit trouble on pit lane when Colton Herta collided with the No. 28 while exiting the Gainbridge pit box on Lap 134. Despite the 26 team being assessed a drive-through penalty for unsafe release, Herta was Andretti Autosport’s highest finisher in ninth – his second top-10 finish on the IMS oval. The 200-lap race saw five caution periods, including three red flags, with a majority of the drama coming the second half of the event. The 107th Indy 500 showed 14 lead changes throughout the race. STARTED: 21ST FINISHED: 9TH CHAMPIONSHIP: 10TH (130 pts) Colton on the race: “It was an up and down day. Ultimately, we had the car to win, but we just didn’t pull it all together so it’s very disappointing. I feel really bad for the team and for the incident on pit lane, which unfortunately ruined our race. But, you know, I guess that’s racing. We had a really good race going up until the drive-through penalty. We still made it back to the top 10, but I’m not really happy with that – we’re here to win. All things considered, it’s better than other possible outcomes.” |
