Colton Herta scored his first win in 41 races capping a weekend in which the No. 26 Honda was the fastest car on the streets of Toronto.
After numerous chances to win races, Herta finally avoided all the race gremlins scoring Andretti Global’s first win of the season. With the win Herta made IndyCar history by being the first driver to win every session in a weekend.
Herta began the day on the pole but a first lap incident would see Christian Rasmussen knocked from the race while Santino Ferrucci would need a nose replaced.
It’s tight racing out there.
