Felix Rosenqvist mixed blistering one-lap speed with a less satisfying race at this weekend\u2019s Grand Prix of Portland, finishing ninth in the final road course event of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES season.<\/strong>
\u00a0
Carrying the popular Grateful Dead livery on his #60 Meyer Shank Racing Honda for the second race in succession, Rosenqvist stormed to the front row in qualifying around Portland International Raceway on Saturday, starting Sunday\u2019s race from second on the grid.
\u00a0
The Swede maintained position in the early stages of the race, but three caution periods while Rosenqvist was on a new set of the red-walled alternate tyres threw a curveball on the opening stint that proved hard to overcome.\u00a0
\u00a0
It left him unable to string out the kind of early advantage the selected strategy called for, leaving him vulnerable on the slower harder tyres later on. As it were, Rosenqvist had to make do with ninth at the chequered flag.

“We didn’t really have great pace today, especially on the blacks [harder tyres],\u201d\u00a0says Felix Rosenqvist<\/strong>. \u201dWe were okay on the reds [soft tyres] but then in the beginning there, when we had our new reds we had a bunch of yellows when we wanted to push and once we put on blacks, it was all green flag. I feel like most of the others were on the opposite strategy of that. It was\u00a0kind of\u00a0a mediocre race. P9 in the end and we were able to\u00a0salvage something, but clearly I was hoping for more.”<\/em>

The penultimate round of the 2025 NTT INDYCAR SERIES takes place in Milwaukee on August 23-24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
