2022 Writers’ Roundtable, Vol. 31: Summer Stretch Takeaway?

Today’s question: What is your biggest takeaway from the stretch of five races in four weeks recently completed by the NTT INDYCAR SERIES?. That’s an average finish of 3.8 during that stretch, a championship-level performance by any definition. After all, drivers Graham Rahal, Christian Lundgaard and Jack Harvey combined to produce just six top-10 finishes in the first nine races. In the last five races, they’ve piled up eight top-10s, with four by Lundgaard, three by Rahal and Harvey’s first top 10 in a steady run last Sunday at Nashville. Qualifying remains this team’s Kryptonite, as only Lundgaard qualified in the first three rows of a race during the five-race summer stretch. If RLL can solve that problem, it will bother the power teams at Penske, Ganassi, AMSP and Andretti and could contend for a victory in the last three races of the season.
