Andretti Global’s Louis Foster scored a thrilling victory in the second race of the doubleheader weekend for Indy NXT on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway course.
Foster stalked and made numerous attempts to pass race leader Caio Collett for the majority of the race before finally getting by with 12 laps to go and then went on to win by 2.3688s on the 2.439-mile, 14-turn circuit. “Managed our tires, managed our push pass,” Foster said. “It's quite tricky for me 'cause I had to burn more get past able and then I had to pressure Caio enough to burn up his because he didn't use any of his whilst I was behind Jacob. But I think we managed it well.
While the leader was beginning to fall under attack, the attention turned to Andretti Global’s Jamie Chadwick, who was running fourth but then quickly fell down the running order due to gearbox issues. She ended up finishing 16th following her maiden podium in the opening race of the weekend. On lap 16, Foster caught and attempted to make a move for the lead, going side-by-side with Collett into Turn 1 through Turn 3 but the latter was able to fend off the challenge.
