Lundgaard ‘happy to not see Palou win for once’ en route to runner-up in Freedom 250 GP

Christian Lundgaard carved his way through the field at the Freedom 250 Grand Prix, driving from ninth on the grid to secure a second-place finish on the scenic 1.7-mile, 7-turn temporary street circuit wrapped around the National Mall.

Behind the wheel of the #7 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet, the 25-year-old Dane delivered another standout drive in what has been a breakout 2026 NTT IndyCar Series campaign. The runner-up effort marks Lundgaard’s sixth podium of the year, adding to an impressive stat line that already features two wins, 11 top-10 finishes, and one pole position.
