Armstrong feels “confident” in “very natural”-feeling IndyCar

The 22-year-old New Zealander ended the first day of official IndyCar testing in 10th out of 27 runners. Around the re-measured 3.067-mile 17-turn Thermal Club track, Armstrong was just 0.5356sec off Colton Herta’s top time, 0.5107s behind Ganassi pacesetter, 2021 champion Alex Palou, and within three-tenths of six-time champion, teammate and fellow Kiwi Scott Dixon.

Having tested at Sebring with Dale Coyne Racing last fall, this was Armstrong’s first day of running with Ganassi, for whom he’ll compete in all road and street courses this season.
