ALEANDER ROSSI
NO. 27 NAPA AUTO PARTS / AUTONATION HONDA
Made his 100th INDYCAR career start.
His 8th place finish is his top finish of the 2022 season.
“Silver linings of the day is that we finished and we finished in a position that has one digit instead of two. The car was good all weekend but we struggled a little bit with the tires in the first stint but the team did a great job with strategy. The pace on the Firestone Reds were good as well but we, unfortunately, lost some time in pit lane which makes for track position in INDYCAR these days.”
START–5th
FINISH–8th
CHAMPIONSHIP–18 (40 pts)
Andretti Autosport celebrated its first podium finish of the 2022 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season after Romain Grosjean wheeled the No. 28 DHL Honda to a second-place finish in the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach. Alexander Rossi valiantly fought for his eighth-place finish earning his first top 10 of the season. Colton Herta and rookie Devlin DeFrancesco finished their days early due to contact after both turned laps as the race leader. The team gets back to work with the first closed-circuit race of the season on May 1 at Barber Motorsport Park.
TIL NEXT TIME, I AM STILL WORKING ON MY REDNECK!
