Those hopes came to a halt at Turn 5 in qualifying, where the Swede&#8217;s No. 8 machine suffered a terminal issue, causing the Indianapolis 500 winner to start at the very back of the field in 25th.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Christian Lundgaard\u00a0<\/strong>made a splash in his return to the track at which he began his IndyCar journey, and once again put himself into the Fast 6. The Danish rookie driving for Rahal will roll off in sixth for the Gallagher Grand Prix, which will certainly assist him in his fight against\u00a0<strong>David Malukas\u00a0<\/strong>for rookie of the year.<\/p>\n<h3>Starting Grid:<\/h3>\n<p>1.
