. smclaughlin93 wins all-Kiwi battle for third in IndyCar's IowaSpeedway Race 2
McLaughlin’s top-five potential in Race 1 at Iowa was stymied when he was sent out of the pits with a loose wheel, obliging him to make an extra pitstop in what was a three-stop race for the leaders. He was then pulled in again late in the race for a fresh set of tires, in the hope of gaining back track time should the field pit again for a final caution. However, when it didn’t come, he was left six laps down .
“Felt like we had a car to challenge for the podium yesterday and we managed to sort of pull it off today,” said the series sophomore, who scored his first oval podium last year at Texas Motor Speedway. “Midway through the race today, the car was a bit of a handful and I wasn't too happy…Managed to get my head down, did some really good pit exchanges, managed to get ourselves into P4 there before the last caution.
“They did a stop. The stop before was a second faster than anyone in pit lane… they tried to go a little bit faster. They weren't going to do it. Unfortunately they dropped the car too early, didn't tighten the wheel.”
