Andretti Global’s Louis Foster went flag-to-flag from pole to win a caution-filled Indy NXT race on the streets of Detroit.
Foster maintained his cool through four restarts and was relatively unchallenged throughout all 45 laps around the 1.645-mile, nine-turn temporary street circuit based in the heart of Motor City. It was the second consecutive victory for the Briton, whose closest rival was HMD Motorsports’ Caio Collett. “At the start I was just managing the gap.” Foster said. “And then midway through I pulled quite a big gap with him thinking he killed his tires.
Abel’s spot in third came under threat on lap 20 after Michael d’Orlando, fighting for the chance to continue racing next weekend, attempted a pass in Turn 9. But the move failed to pay off as the two went side-by-side, with d’Orlando on the outside getting out of shape, with the left-rear lightly tapping the outside wall before spinning around and taking minor damage. He was able to continue on but fell to 17th as Abel maintained third.
