Mixed results on the streets of Detroit

Juncos Hollinger Racing’s first visit to the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix downtown street circuit brought mixed results today as Callum Ilott’s early collision resulted in a premature exit and Agustín Canapino’s assured performance secured a P14 finish on Motown’s narrow street circuit.

The 100-lap race started with Agustín in P20 and Callum ahead in P16. But a collision on the entry into Turn 3 ended the Briton’s race shortly after the race went green.

Agustín meanwhile, navigated one of the most challenging circuits on the NTT INDYCAR SERIES calendar with his trademark confidence. The Argentine rookie powered through the opening quarter of the race, setting personal best lap times with impressive regularity.

At lap 29, Agustín climbed into P10 before heading into the pits. A fresh set of primary tires were bolted to the #78 Dallara-Chevrolet, following an extended stint on the softer green Firestone tires.

A final set of black sidewall tires went onto Agustín’s car on lap 68, before several more caution periods shook up the field. However, Agustín avoided any trouble to claim P14 at the checkered flag.
