Team Penske driver can still be factor in NTT IndyCar Series title chase.
“I think we could have easily walked away with two podiums,” McLaughlin said about Iowa. “At least to get one was fantastic. First time racing in Iowa, certainly first time qualifying there. Felt we were pretty competitive, certainly a lot different to what I've been used to on some of the other short tracks and even some of the big ovals.”
But then he started seeing better showings, including winning for the second time this season , was ninth at Toronto, 22nd in the first race at Iowa and then followed it up with a third-place podium showing the following day in the second half of the weekend doubleheader at the .875-mile oval in the middle of Iowa corn country.
“ it's going to be hard to beat the front five. They're very strong and they're racing up the front every week, not making mistakes. That's ultimately what we need to make sure we do on car 3.” “On track I've really gelled, pretty well-known, with my engineer Ben Bretzman, and my strategist Kyle Moyer. Got a really good team there in terms of pit stops as well. I feel really, really at home. I'm starting to get a feel for IndyCar and the aggression needed and the confidence to do that, which has been a huge thing for me.
While McLaughlin concedes he would like to finish the season in the top five, if he were to potentially return to victory lane an additional time or two, and the guys ahead of him go into a collective slump, anything’s possible.
