. ScottDixon9 disappointed in qualifying but remaining hopeful that IndyCar teams' varied strategies can flip the running order of the FirestoneGP at WeatherTechRcwy Laguna Seca
Chip Ganassi Racing’s six-time champion, who is still in the running to match AJ Foyt’s all time record seventh IndyCar title, was left wrongfooted after fellow title-rival Josef Newgarden spun and stalled in Q1 Group 1, bringing out a red flag. As the clock ran out, IndyCar granted the remaining drivers one last chance – an out lap and one flyer – to solve their predicament.
“We went out [initially] on new blacks and actually took a bit of time to get some speed out of it,” he said. “The #14 kept backing us up as well. “Ultimately, we’re talking about missing it by less than a tenth which is frustrating because the car felt comfortable and had more speed in it. Unfortunately we needed another half lap or a lap.”
