Crashes for Rasmussen, Robb and Simpson interrupt final practice before qualifying
Andretti Global’s Colton Herta led the way in a second practice session for the IndyCar Series that was blighted by three red flags on Saturday morning at Laguna Seca. A two-time former winner here, Herta took the top spot with a stout flying lap of 1m08.2300s around the 2.238-mile, 11-turn natural terrain road course. The outing comes after also placing second in the Friday evening’s opening practice. “It feels really nice,” Herta said.
However, the top spot changed hands with 22 minutes remaining after O’Ward hung on to a couple of wild moments to push out a 1m08.5498s flying lap. With less than 20 minutes to go, the running order was O’Ward, Rossi, Kirkwood, Armstrong and Herta. Herta propelled to first with roughly 16 minutes to go after nailing a quick lap of 1m08.2300s, with Palou following with a 1m08.4387s run to go second.
