Tire concerns and big wrecks limit the laps, but there was plenty of action on offer around Iowa’s short track in the time that they did run under green
Andretti Global’s Louis Foster pulled off a late pass and surged to victory in a wild Indy NXT race at Iowa Speedway. The 20-year-old Briton started second and stalked team-mate James Roe until pulling off the winning move with an outside pass with five laps to go as a late caution left him coasting to the finish at the 0.894-mile oval. “We discussed prior to the race that we were going to save tires throughout the race,” Foster said.
The wreckage from the incident left behind an extended cleanup by the AMR Safety Team, leaving the field to run several laps under caution. The race restarted on lap 40 and saw Roe get a solid jump on Foster. It was de Alba pressing Chadwick for fourth as the two were side-by-side. During this stretch, though, championship contender Abel, who was running eighth, ended up with contact that led to a puncture and was forced to pit, falling to 16th and losing multiple laps.
