Kiwi driver Hunter McElrea heads to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway this weekend for a road course double-header in the Indy Lights Series presented by Cooper Tires.
It’s the first of three doubleheader weekends with a pair of 35 lap races on Friday and Saturday. Linus Lundqvist, who won one of the two races at Indianapolis in 2021, took the series points lead with his win at Barber Motorsports Park on May 1. The field for the weekend’s doubleheader races will be set by a single qualifying session on Friday.
The two drivers who have won Indy Lights races this season – Matthew Brabham of Andretti Autosport and Linus Lundqvist of HMD Motorsports with Dale Coyne Racing – are also the only entered drivers to have won at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Brabham won Race 1 of a doubleheader at IMS in May 2014 while Lundqvist won Race 1 of last season’s doubleheader.
Indy Lights Race 1 takes place Friday at 5:35 p.m. (ET) (9:35am Sat NZ time), while Race 2 will take the green flag at 1:20 p.m. (ET) on Saturday (5:20am Sunday NZ time).
