Let’s start with those who didn’t make our top 10. Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing’s midseason revival resulted in Graham Rahal progressing from contending for top 10s to fighting for top fives while rookie Christian Lundgaard was able to earn spots in the Firestone Fast Six and claim a runner-up finish in the IMS road course’s second race.
Despite Lundgaard's Rookie of the Year award win, and Rahal proving as strong as ever despite finishing outside the top 10 in the championship for the first time since 2014, neither quite reaches our top 10. They simply didn’t have the car to get enough done at some of RLL’s traditionally strong tracks.
