Lundgaard tops second Mid-Ohio IndyCar practice

Christian Lundgaard fired in the fastest lap of the morning during the closing minutes of the second practice session at Mid-Ohio’s Honda Indy 200 with a 1m05.215s in the No. 7 Arrow McLaren Chevy.

Lundgaard edged Rahal Letterman Lanigan's Louis Foster in the No. 45 Honda (1m05.2896), second ahead of Andretti Global’s Kyle Kirkwood in the No. 27 Honda (1m05.819s).

“Obviously, we knew today would be a lot faster because it’s cooler,” Lundgaard said. “The session today is much earlier than yesterday. I would definitely say we found some issues in balance that we didn’t have yesterday, because I think the tires were overheating yesterday.

"We’re in a good spot. We’re going in one direction. I feel like the speed is in the car and it was there yesterday as well. It’s really optimizing from here and fine tuning from here; the last little things us drivers really want. I feel like the car is in the spot it needs to be.”
