Rinus VeeKay delivered an encore performance and once again took the fight to IndyCar’s best en route to a fourth-place finish at Sunday’s Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio.
After starting sixth in the #76 Juncos Hollinger Racing (JHR) Chevrolet, the Dutchman leaned on an aggressive tire strategy by starting on the softer alternate (red sidewall) tires. He quickly jumped up two spots on the opening lap and was among the first to dive to pit lane, swapping to the preferred harder primary (black sidewall tires) once the three-stop window opened for the 90-lap race.
