Felix Rosenqvist fought back from the last row of the grid to score a top ten finish in a caution-free Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix, setting the second-fastest lap of the race as he completed a powerful comeback drive in round seven of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES campaign.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rosenqvist\u2019s weekend was dealt a couple of early blows, with a crash just two laps into opening practice followed by a penalty for accidentally blocking another car in qualifying that demoted the Swede to the last row of the grid in 25th place.

Come Sunday\u2019s 70-lap race, however, Rosenqvist unleashed the true potential of the #7 Arrow McLaren SP Chevrolet, battling back to make up a full 15 positions in a caution-free encounter on his way to tenth place.

\u201cIt was a fun race, with no yellows to help us along \u2013 just a flat out green race,\u201d says Felix Rosenqvist<\/strong>. \u201cLots of passing, and well executed in terms of pit stops, in- and out-laps, and strategy. The low point was being stuck behind (Conor) Daly and (Dalton) Kellett, which cost us a shot at something even better, but I think making up 15 positions at a street track like this really is all we could ask for.\u201d<\/em>

Rosenqvist underscored his pace by setting the second-fastest lap of the race, and the fastest among all Chevrolet-powered drivers.

\u201cThe pace was really good, once again,\u201d Felix Rosenqvist concludes<\/strong>. \u201cWhenever we were behind other cars we were able to follow or catch them. We are really starting to unlock some real speed and we have every reason to be optimistic for the rest of the season.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NTT INDYCAR SERIES returns to action next weekend (June 10-12) at Road America \u2013 the site of Rosenqvist\u2019s breakthrough first INDYCAR victory back in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
