Romain Grosjean experienced an intense day during the 110th edition of the Indy 500, achieving the award for the greatest mover of the race. The Dale Coyne Racing driver secured a standout position, finishing ninth, his best classification in this famous event.
Grosjean had a memorable race, carrying the number 18 in honor of legendary NASCAR driver Kyle Busch, who earned most of his victories in this category with that same number. Despite starting from the 24th position, he fought hard throughout the 200 laps of the competition, achieving a significant improvement compared to his previous performances.
The French driver described the day as “strange,” as at one point he found himself in 30th place with a lap down after receiving a penalty. However, he emphasized that the Honda team provided a high-performance engine that held up throughout the race.
Grosjean made a calculation during the final stage and understood that if some drivers had to pit, he had the chance to gain positions. Thus, finishing in ninth place, he expressed his satisfaction with the result and his own team, showing pride in his performance in such a demanding race.
