Dale Coyne Racing’s Rinus VeeKay in the No.18 askROI Honda was the biggest mover in Saturday’s Sonsio Grand Prix of Indianapolis on the IMS road course.
The Dutch driver started the race from 24th and came home in 9th place and is now inside the top ten in the championship heading into the Greatest Spectacle In Racing.
Awesome strategy. Great job to the whole Dale Coyne Racing team for all the work that got put in overnight to make the car quick. Gave me a great strategy, and all I needed to do was be the quickest guy out there. I’m having a lot of fun, we have a really good group of people working together, and we have had a season of just maximizing our position out of the car. Pitting as early as we did to undercut everyone was made possible by Honda mileage, which is really good around here. Huge thanks to askROI for making this possible. I’m happy to be getting them some good results these past few weeks.
Jacob Abel in the No.51 Mecum Auctions Honda was forced to retire after his engine shut off as he came down pit-road for his final stop.
That was tough. We had great pace and I felt confident in the setup for today, and we have an issue end our day. It’s frustrating we have the pace, and we just have not been showing it at the end of races. All you can do is push forward. I know the team will give me good cars, and I know that we will be higher in our finishing position soon. It’s cliché, but all the pieces are here, and we just have to put them all together. So thankful to Mecum for coming aboard with me they make what I do possible, and I’m so grateful to have them on my car.”
