The championship battle in Indy Lights Presented by Cooper Tires intensified massively today as Englishman Jack Harvey won his first race of the season for seven-time championship-winning team Schmidt Peterson Motorsports with Curb-Agajanian in the Mazda Grand Prix of Indianapolis.
“It was pretty much a perfect day; we qualified on pole, won and set the fastest lap in the race,” Harvey stated. “We’ve seen that qualifying has been key, that starting on the pole really pays dividends. But in the race, new tires were an advantage. It’s such a toss-up, which one you prioritize, and we tried to be quite bold in the strategy this weekend. I started the race on old tires. It shows what a great team I have behind me. But it’s so competitive; Sean Rayhall is on the podium in his third race, RC Enerson has continued to impress. If you don’t move forward, people are overtaking you. It’s down to us and the team to keep pushing each other forward. Ed will be on the pole tomorrow so it means trying to move as far forward as we can. But it was a great day, starting from pole and getting my first win of the year at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.”
