TFLcar is rooting for IndyCar Honda powered Andretti Autosport No. 25 of Justin Wilson. You can also follow the race progress at IndyCar Race Control.
Justin Wilson released this statement:
“Tough day for the No. 25, we had a vibration in one of our rear tires so we were forced to pit early because we were losing a lot of lap time. So we had to pit a few laps early and that’s when the yellow flag came out and that was it, we went a lap down and just tried to fight our way back to the front. We tried something with fuel milage and strategy to get back into the front of the pack, but we were a lap short. Unfortunately since we were a lap short, we had to pit two laps till the end and not risk anything. It’s frustrating, but it’s just been a long tough day. I want to thank Andretti Autosport for this opportunity, looking forward to hopefully working with them again.”
