Felix\u00a0Rosenqvist\u00a0finished the XPEL Grand Prix at Road America in 14th place, bringing his #60 Meyer Shank Racing Honda home in a fuel-saving exercise in round seven of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES.<\/strong>
\u00a0
In a race of many obstacles, Rosenqvist started 22nd following an off-track excursion in a wet qualifying session on Saturday that prevented the Swede from advancing past the opening rounds.
\u00a0
Rosenqvist managed to climb several positions on the opening laps of Sunday\u2019s race, though, keeping out of trouble amid a flurry of early incidents and cautions.
\u00a0
That initial progress came undone on lap six, however, when Rosenqvist was hit by rival Sting Ray Robb at Turn 6 and dropped all the way back down to 25th.\u00a0Robb was later penalized for the clash.
\u00a0
Pitting early in response to get off the Firestone alternate tyres, Rosenqvist then completed the rest of the race in fuel-save mode to try and avoid having to make an extra final pit stop, successfully reeling off a trio of 15-lap stints on a day when most rivals pitted for fresh tyres and fuel every 12-13 laps.
\u00a0
The effort ultimately proved enough for 14th place.\u00a0Rosenqvist also led three laps while circling to the front on his alternate strategy.
\u00a0
\u201dUnfortunately we got taken out in the beginning, and then we had to recover from the back of the field,\u201d\u00a0says Felix Rosenqvist<\/strong>.\u00a0\u201cWe went off strategy, saving a lot of fuel, but ultimately we didn\u2019t have enough pace to make it happen.\u00a0P14, a very average result, but we move forward and look ahead to Laguna Seca. I think we were decently quick, but today just wasn\u2019t our day.\u201d<\/em>
\u00a0
Rosenqvist now sits tenth in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES standings.\u00a0The championship resumes with the Firestone Grand Prix of Monterey at Laguna Seca on June 21-23.
\u00a0
Rosenqvist will be back on track already on Tuesday, however, for a series test at the Milwaukee Mile oval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
