Christian Lundgaard

ANALYSIS
Lundgaard was in contention all weekend, qualifying second before becoming the first non-Chip Ganassi driver to cross the finish line on race day. The strategy behind his finish was particularly interesting, as Scott Dixon won on a two-stop strategy while Alex Palou used three stops. Lundgaard followed Palou, but he lamented that decision after the race, feeling like he had potentially cost himself a chance at victory. Nevertheless, this was Lundgaard's fourth podium of the season, more than he had in his first three full years in IndyCar combined.
