NTT INDYCAR SERIES
PREVIEW: RD. 14 \u2013 ABC SUPPLY 500, POCONO (USA)<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Three weeks ago, Felix Rosenqvist bagged his first-ever NTT IndyCar Series podium \u2013 finishing a close second to Chip Ganassi Racing team-mate Scott Dixon after fighting a race-long battle for victory at Mid-Ohio. This weekend sees action resume in America\u2019s premier single-seater series, with Rosenqvist eager to carry his momentum onto the banks of the uniquely triangular-shaped Pocono Raceway oval.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGetting my first podium at Mid-Ohio was fantastic, but if there is one thing I\u2019ve learned this season, it\u2019s how truly different each race is from another in this championship,\u201d\u00a0says Felix Rosenqvist<\/strong>. \u201cIt\u2019s very hard being consistently competitive. You have to master a wide set of situations and tracks, and I\u2019ve never been to Pocono. It\u2019s a big oval with high speeds. I will have to build my pace around there and I\u2019m ready to give it some time.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The Pocono event, formally titled the ABC Supply 500, marks the fourth oval race out of five on the 2019 calendar. The fifth takes place next weekend at Gateway, before two more traditional tracks conclude the season at Portland and Laguna Seca.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAll races are obviously important to me, but at the moment it would mean a lot to finish off this season particularly with an improved feel on the ovals,\u201d Swede Rosenqvist continues<\/strong>. \u201cI\u2019m confident at the other tracks, but I\u2019m very much aware I\u2019m not a pro at the ovals yet. I do have respect for them, and I think everyone should. We all know what happens when you crash at 220, 230 mph, so for me it makes sense to learn the trade properly and allow it some extra time.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

While yet to attain a headline-grabbing result in oval racing, Rosenqvist believes he is edging gradually closer to his breakthrough moment in this style of competition, and clearly looks forward to the Pocono 200-lap, 500-mile race on Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI tested at Gateway recently and I have to say I feel more and more confident with every lap I turn on an oval,\u201d\u00a0Rosenqvist concludes<\/strong>. \u201cPocono and Gateway will be two important races for me. I still have much more to learn, but I’m sure my first good result on an oval is just around the corner.\u201d<\/em><\/span>
