Christian Rasmussen won a wild, rain-delayed IndyNXT race at Iowa Speedway as title rival Nolan Siegel spun out 😱 FULL REPORT 👇
After being delayed from its 10:00am start time to 6:30pm in the evening due to the rain that impacted IndyCar Series qualifying, polewinner Abel led the 16-car field to green in the 75-lap race.
That allowed Mid-Ohio winner Louis Foster to get a run on McElrea but the race order was established with Rasmussen leading Abel by 1.5s from Siegel, McElrea and Foster. Further back, Danial Frost and Kyffin Simpson clashed wheels and sent both pitwards. That helped race dominator Rasmussen extend a 10s lead by the halfway point. Abel reclaimed third from McElrea when he tripped over Chadwick, but McElrea responded a lap later to snatch back third.
McElrea lost third to Abel again after a hugely sketchy moment in traffic at Turn 4, but McElrea passed him back around the outside of Turns 3 and 4 with 21 laps to go.
