Rinus VeeKay was in the thick of a podium finish, but fell just short in a wild IndyCar Series race that finished after midnight into the Monday morning at World Wide Technology Raceway.
The Dutchman started 13th and executed a flawless drive matched by a strong performance by the pit crew of his #76 Juncos Hollinger Racing (JHR) Chevrolet, which helped gain valuable track position that cycled him into the top five with 57 laps to go. From there, he was on the heels of ECR’s Christian Rasmussen, Andretti Global’s Marcus Ericsson, who led a race-high 114 of 260 laps, and Team Penske’s Josef Newgarden.
