SCOTT MCLAUGHLIN No. 3 SONSIO CHEVROLET
START: 4TH
FINISH: 4TH
POINTS: 5TH (-111)
RACE RUNDOWN: Scott McLaughlin and the No. 3 Sonsio Chevrolet clicked-off his third top-five finish of 2025 and tied his Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course best with a fourth-place finish in Saturday’s Sonsio Grand Prix. McLaughlin would continue his streak of Firestone Fast Six appearances with his third consecutive on Friday. The No. 3 car would be the only team in the top five to start the 85-lap race on Firestone primary tires. He would settle into sixth position in the opening laps. A move to the quicker Firestone alternate tires would see McLaughlin keep pace with race leaders Graham Rahal and Alex Palou. He would make his final stop of the day on lap 64 and saw the undercut drop him to fifth position. Following the second full course yellow of 2025, McLaughlin would hold steady in fourth position at the race’s end.
MCLAUGHLIN’S THOUGHTS: “I should be upset with a fourth. I think we could have gotten second today but I made a mistake on the pit exchange, and I lost a couple of spots. And that was our day. I will take a fourth. But it could have easily been a second and my first podium at Indy. Next race is the best race of the year. I thought it was a bold move to start on the black tires, and I was super fast on those tires. I was proud of the guys for that move. We made some big inroads with the car over the weekend. Now I can’t wait to get on the oval this week.”
