Felix Rosenqvist launched himself back into the frame as the NTT INDYCAR SERIES resumed after the summer break, taking a top six finish in the Bommarito Automotive Group 500.<\/strong>

Rosenqvist was on fine form throughout the event, staged at World Wide Technology Raceway, and qualified a rapid second fastest with a 179 mph two-lap average around the 1.25-mile oval.

A penalty for an unapproved engine change ultimately demoted the Meyer Shank Racing driver nine spots on the grid, causing him to start 11th, but Rosenqvist maintained a strong presence in the race \u2013 working his way up into podium contention as the 260-lap event neared conclusion.

Unfortunately, a refuelling issue at the final scheduled pit stop meant Rosenqvist had to come back around for an extra stop, dropping him off the lead lap and unable to contend in the final shootout that followed a late red flag.\u00a0
\u00a0
Still able to cross the line in sixth, however, the result nonetheless marked a welcome step in the right direction as Rosenqvist scored his best result in ten races to kick off the final stretch of the season.

\u201cIt was a really eventful race today,\u201d\u00a0says Felix Rosenqvist<\/strong>. \u201cWith the nine-place grid penalty we had, I\u2019m pretty happy with P6 here. We recovered five positions, got some good points, and it\u2019s nice to be back in the game. We\u2019ve been strong all weekend, taking second in qualifying, and it\u2019s a good boost for us to start off this final part of the season.\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cWe had a little hiccup in the end at the final (scheduled) stop, and we have to see what happened. Without that, I think we would have been in contention for a podium, but I\u2019m just happy to be back with a good haul of points after a few difficult races. I hope we can keep it up to the end of the year.\u201d<\/em>
\u00a0
Rosenqvist now moves back inside the top ten in the overall championship standings.

The NTT INDYCAR SERIES is back in action next weekend (August 23-25) with the Grand Prix of Portland. Rosenqvist finished second in the Oregon event last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
