AJ Foyt Racing is hard at work as they replace the Chevrolet power unit in the back of Santino Ferrucci’s No.14 Sexton Properties Chevrolet after he suffered an engine failure in the early minutes of warm-up for today’s Sonsio Grand Prix of Indianapolis on the IMS road course.
The Foyt team tweeted:
After an engine failure in the beginning of morning warmup, the No. 14 Sexton Properties crew is working hard to replace the engine in time for this afternoon’s race.
Ferrucci rolls off from 11th in this afternoon’s Sonsio Grand Prix of Indianapolis. Speaking following qualifying on Friday he said:
Obviously, quite an interesting up and down day. “Had a clutch issue so we missed a good part of FP 1 (Free Practice 1) and almost all of FP 2, but the guys just stuck with it. Had a really good qualifying to get an advance (out of Round 1) but kind of missed it a little bit in the second round. We’ll look back and see kind of why. I definitely left some time on the table in my driving and I just don’t feel like I started the tire very well either. So, kind of bummed not to advance to the Fast Six but we have a good starting spot for tomorrow, and we’ll be good.”
