Road To Indy on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course – Lindh resets track record on the way to 2nd pole – Robb joins him on an all Juncos Racing front row

By Steve Wittich

A few quick updates on the first qualifying session

• Sting Ray Robb lost his quickest lap due to qualifying interference.
• Ian Rodriguez, Antonio Serravalle, Jacob Abel, and Danial Frost were all penalized two grid spots for not reducing their speed by at least 15% through a local yellow flag.

Rasmus Lindh will start on pole for Saturday’s second Indy Pro 2000 race on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course, lowering the track record he had set 2 ½ hours earlier by a slim 0.003 seconds.

It’s the Swedish driver’s fifth career Road To Indy pole and the seventh for Juncos Racing in this event.

Lindh’s veteran teammate Sting Ray Robb was his closest competitor, ensuring Saturday’s race will feature an all Juncos Racing front row.

The second row will feature reigning USF2000 champion Kyle Kirkwood and Exclusive Autosport rookie Danial Frost.

Nikita Lastochkin (Exclusive Autosport), and Robb, both improved by four spots between the two qualifying sessions.

At the half-way point of the 20-minute session Lindh held the provisional pole with a lap of 79.116 seconds. Frost, Robb, Kirkwood, and Lastochkin made up the rest of the top five.

The only change in the top-five with five minutes remaining was RP Motorsport newcomer Ian Rodriguez moving to a provisional fifth place starting spot.

With three minutes left, Robb and Kirkwood moved ahead of Frost but were still behind Lindh.

Lindh must have sensed the pressure coming, turning a lap just that little bit quicker than his track record from first qualifying session of the day.
