Andretti Global’s Louis Foster swept the weekend for Indy NXT after handing out another dominant flag-to-flag victory from pole in Race 2 at Laguna Seca.
The 20-year-old Briton delivered a performance that mirrored his win on Saturday, once again leading all 35 laps en route to winning by 4.3962s on the 2.238-mile, 11-turn natural terrain road course. With the win and an error by rival Jacob Abel, Foster now takes sole possession of the championship lead with a 35-point advantage. “Yeah, like I said yesterday, Andretti has given me an amazing car, I’m just out there doing my thing,” Foster said. “It’s been a great weekend.
The running order among the frontrunners remained unchanged as Foster expanded his advantage of over 3s by lap 15. However, contact between HMD Motorsports team-mates Callum Hedge and Christian Brooks, in his debut weekend in Indy NXT, brought out the caution on lap 16 after the pair collided battling for 10th in Turn 2. Brooks continued on, but Hedge was left stalled in the middle of the Andretti Hairpin. When the race resumed on lap 17, Foster got a clean jump to break away from the field.
