Lundgaard Wins Chaotic Road America Race

Arrow McLaren's Christian Lundgaard claimed victory in a tumultuous XPEL Grand Prix at Road America. His race began with significant damage, as he suffered a broken front wing on the opening lap due to contact with Scott Dixon.

Despite the early setback, Lundgaard progressed through the field. With four laps remaining, he was in contention when race leader Marcus Armstrong encountered a mechanical failure, handing Lundgaard the lead. He then battled David Malukas in a tense final lap, ultimately securing his third career win.

Kyffin Simpson of Chip Ganassi Racing finished third. The race concluded under caution after Will Power and Graham Rahal made contact on the final lap. Pole-sitter Alex Palou finished fourth, with Power rounding out the top five.

Earlier in the race, Romain Grosjean's pit stop issue led to a full course caution. Several drivers, including Scott Dixon and Mick Schumacher, faced penalties for pit lane infractions, further jumbling the running order and adding to the race's chaotic nature.
