Pole-sitter Louis Foster went flag-to-flag and pulled off a dominant victory in the opening race of the doubleheader weekend for Indy NXT at Laguna Seca.
A 20-year-old Briton, Foster wheeled the No. 27 Andretti Global entry to a beatdown of the field to claim a 8.2445s victory and lead all 35 laps around the 2.238-mile, 11-turn natural terrain road course. It is the fifth Indy NXT win of Foster’s career. “The team gave me a good car,” Foster said. “I was able to just keep pushing, but had very little deg . I was managing tires but they didn’t need much managing to be honest with you. Super happy, let’s go do it tomorrow.
Gold was able to stay on the lead lap after quick work by the AMR Safety Team to retrieve him, needing only to return to pit road for a quick front wing change. Foster made a clean getaway on the lap 9 restart as Collet’s runner-up spot was immediately under attack by Abel. Despite Abel’s efforts, he was unable to mount a successful push to get by the 22-year-old Brazilian and remained third. Over the next 13 laps, the best battle on track was for 10th.
