Christian Lundgaard said the week off helped his team.

“It’s been really nice for everybody to have a nice little weekend off. Regroup, recharge. We all needed that week off,” he said.

“If we can execute this weekend and carry this momentum, then we can have a good end to the season.”

Seven teams placed cars in the top ten in Friday’s practice, and they were separated by just three tenths of a second.

Temperatures today are expected to climb to 87 degrees, but the morning practice will run in 64 degree weather. For qualifying, the temperature should be in the low 70s. Final practice will run in conditions similar to green flag conditions tomorrow at around 85 degrees.

Notes

It was hard to gauge attendance yesterday, but it seemed about average for Friday at Portland.

I hope we see merchandise for this Felix Rosenqvist livery soon. I would be grateful.

I will be back after practice with results and qualifying groups.

If you are coming to the track, remember to hydrate and wear sunscreen.
