Honda Racing Corporation US (HRC US) President David Salters has issued an apology to Marcus Armstrong and Meyer Shank Racing after a mechanical failure cost the driver a shot at his first career IndyCar victory on Sunday.
Armstrong, 25, held a 2.7s lead over Christian Lundgaard with less than four laps to go when his #66 Meyer Shank Racing Honda began to suddenly slow. It led to Lundgaard swiftly getting the lead and - after Armstrong’s slowing machine brought out the caution and set up a one-lap - the win.
