Christian Lundgaard was left frustrated over a self-inflicted error that ended his shot at pole in the ultra-intense qualifying session for the IndyCar season finale at Laguna Seca.
The 22-year-old Dane had been the star through the early rounds, with no showing more impressive than his Q2 flyer of 1m06.4610s that broke the 23-year-old track qualifying record held byRahal Letterman Lanigan RacingHe attacked the repaved 11-turn, 2.238-mile road course, which featured searing asphalt that exceeded 123F, in an effort to become the only driver to claim the top spot three times in 2023.
During Lundgaard’s first flying lap, he was tracking well into the green until a slight error in the Corkscrew caused him to run wide and cost him valuable tenths of a second and dropped his potential pace.
