Herbst gave Stewart-Haas Racing its second straight victory, finishing ahead of teammate Cole Custer by 0.167 seconds. Aric Almirola wound up third.
INDIANAPOLIS — Riley Herbst saw an opening Saturday and made it pay off with a trip to victory lane at the Brickyard.driver chased down Aric Almirola on on the final lap, then got close enough to tap Almirola’s car with his front bumper in the final turn, dart to the inside for the lead and hold onto his sliding car to win his first race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
“This is the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, everyone in the world wants to race here and win here,” Herbst said, explaining he barely held onto the car when it started to go sideways. “I don’t care if it’s the Xfinity Series or the go-kart series. This is Indianapolis.” The back-to-back wins give SHR, a team that’s closing its doors after the season, some momentum heading into the final six regular-season races.
Each of the top three finishers held the lead during the final three laps and Custer came within a whisker of capping a perfect weekend with his second straight trip to victory lane when he passed Almirola on the inside of the front straightaway. Earlier Saturday, Custer was named the Haas Factory Team’s Cup driver for 2025.
