NO. 3 GALLAGHER DALLARA/CHEVROLET
START – 10TH
FINISH – 8TH
POINTS – 4TH (-144)
RACE RUNDOWN: Scott McLaughlin and the No. 3 Gallagher Chevrolet team earned a hard-fought eighth-place finish in Saturday’s Gallagher Grand Prix on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course. The most-recent NTT P1 Award winner, McLaughlin started the 85-lap event in the 10th position and quickly worked his way into the top five by Lap 17. After cycling back to the eighth position following his first trip to pit lane on Lap 20, McLaughlin rarely moved off that spot in the running order throughout the remaining laps. His finish added to his total of consecutive top-10 results, which now stands at eight with three races remaining, including the penultimate race at Portland International Raceway where he was victorious in 2022.
MCLAUGHLIN’S THOUGHTS: “Just a disappointing day today on the Indy road course. I thought we had a really good start. The Gallagher Chevy was feeling great over the opening laps, but at the end we just have no fight here right now and we have to figure that out. Our platform needs to be better. We are getting closer but we are definitely not close enough. It’s frustrating but we still finished eighth today, our eighth top-10 in a row. A good points day and we’ll press on to St. Louis.”
