Tough weekend for Frost at WorldWide Technology Raceway
It was a busy day at World Wide Technology Raceway as the Indy Lights Presented by Cooper Tires field took on the short oval for the season’s only oval event. The 12-car field started the day with practice followed by single-car qualifying, where Lap 1 set the starting positions for Race 1 and Lap 2 set the grid for Race 2.
Frost started Saturday’s Race 2 from third on the inside of Row 2, where he got a bit loose on the opening laps of the race and was able to work his way into the top six.
“Started P5 today and I was looking forward to making up some positions at the start, but we did not expect the car to be so loose for the entire race. We had a pretty big moment on the opening lap and kind of dropped back toward the tail of the field. We had to make our way back up to the front. It was pretty difficult, honestly, with the setup being not quite in the window and we were struggling with that. At the end of the day, we still finished P6 and that is the maximum we could’ve gotten out of the car. You have good races and you have bad races. Today was just one of those days where we had to maximize what we could out of the car. Tomorrow we start P3, so it is going to be a lot better. We already know what the problem was and what we have to do to fix the car. I’m looking forward to tomorrow and hopefully we can get a podium.”

Frost hopes to regain points in Round 15 & 16 at the Portland International Raceway in Oregon on September 9th to 12th.
