Andretti Global’s Colton Herta rebounded from an early tag from Josef Newgarden to finish sixth at Road America, but was left fuming at the lack of a penalty for the incident.
Rookie Linus Lundqvist led the field to the green flag and went into Turn 1, but was bumped at the exit of the corner by Chip Ganassi Racing team-mate Marcus Armstrong. The contact set off a chain reaction as Herta, who started second but fell in line to fourth, checked up as the two drivers spun but was then hit from behind by the nose of Newgarden’s No. 2 Team Penske Chevrolet. Herta was sent into a spin as a result of the contact and fell down the running order to 26th.
“And the third week in a row where the Gainbridge Honda has been so fast and we have relatively nothing to show for it. I'm not happy with sixth place with the car that we had today with the pace that we had in the car. I don't know what to say. Disappointing.” Colton Herta, Andretti Global w/ Curb-Agajanian Honda Photo by: Geoffrey M. Miller / Motorsport Images The incident with Newgarden wasn’t the only issue Herta was forced to claw back from at the 4.
