When opportunities arise in life, the key is knowing how to react. That’s exactly what Christian Rasmussen and Ed Carpenter Racing did on Sunday, when light sprinkles brought out a yellow flag on lap 209 of the Snap-on Milwaukee Mile 250.
During that caution, the top three – Alex Palou, Scott McLaughlin and Josef Newgarden, who had pitted about 15 laps earlier – stayed out to protect track position. Rasmussen, his teammate Alexander Rossi, and others opted to pit for fresh tires.
