IndyCar legends dariofranchitti and Alex Zanardi (lxznr) hold the all-time qualifying and race track records at roadamerica 💪 But will those be toppled this weekend after the repave? 👇
. Arrow McLaren’s Pato O’Ward lapped in 1m40.72s in testing last week – already well under that race lap-record pace. Pole record-holder Franchitti admitted to Motorsport.com this week that he expects his qualifying record is likely to fall, given that the softer alternate tires will be in play and that the track’s surface is now much smoother than before.
Track president Mike Kertscher said of the repave: “I'm going to predict 2023 will be the year some records fall. We're very happy with how it turned out.”believes that the repave should also help with overtaking opportunities with the extra grip available. “Road America is an awesome track,” he said. “With it being repaved, there is a brand-new dynamic to it.
“The repaved track is going to add to some adjustments and it’s going to be a lot faster with more grip from the track sealant. There might be some better overtaking opportunities than we’ve seen in prior years.”
