It’s been almost a year since Linus Lundqvist won the Indy Lights, or Indy NXT, championship this year. The scholarship he received was not as large as that of previous winners, and was not enough to fund any steering in IndyCar 2023.
Instead, he waited for an opportunity.

A few weeks ago at Meyer Shark Racing he surprisingly took over Simon Pagenaud’s car #60. He capped the team’s best finish of the year at the city track in Nashville when he was 12th at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and he set the fastest lap in the last event, just as he did at Nashville. It was decided on The Oval in Portland.
His efforts have inspired and paid off.
