Marking his 150th start during today’s penultimate race of the season, Ryan Hunter-Reay was seen as high as third place before experiencing a gearbox issue forcing the reigning series champion to pit. After remaining in the pits to receive a fix for five laps, the Florida resident continued and came home with a 21st-place finish.
“I think we had another podium going today. We were running third and then the gearbox broke – it’s another DNF for the DHL Chevy. We have just had horrible luck this year and I guess we just have to look at it as unfortunately circumstances and bad luck. It is what it is; I just hope Dario Franchitti is ok.”
