Christian Lundgaard will need to conjure another miraculous drive from the back of the grid after severe electrical issues derailed his qualifying effort for the Grand Prix of Portland.
The Arrow McLaren driver entered the race weekend sitting fourth in the championship standings, anchored by two victories this season—including a sensational last-to-first charge at Road America back in June. However, the 25-year-old Dane will have to replicate that monumental performance on Portland International Raceway’s tight, 12-turn, 1.964-mile natural road course after mounting electrical problems left his # 7 Chevrolet severely down on power.
