A podium finish for Lundgaard at last week’s race on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course appears to have unlocked his confidence and as he lapped the bumpy 2.1-mile street track in Nashville he put in a 1m15.9695s to head the field by over two-tenths over Felix Rosenqvist.
With an extra set of primaries to use, it was predominantly the rookies who hit the 2.1-mile course in the opening 15 minutes, with David Malukas of Dale Coyne Racing with HMD setting a 1min18.1595s, just ahead of Andretti Autosport’s Devlin De Francesco, and Rookie of the Year points leader Lundgaard.
