It was Rafeal Rodrigues that led the field to the green flag from pole and as often is the case at the Brickyard, the racing was fierce and fast from the get-go. A few crashes thinned the field and some of the faster drivers were unfortunately not spared in some of those crashes. Forrester and returning driver Patrick Day went a lap down, but about 2/3rds into the race they got lucky and got their lap back. With the field losing even more drivers, it was Breuning, Day and Forrester on the lead lap together. Fuel was a bit of an issue, because the latest yellow came just about 2 laps too early. But the three drivers saved enough and opened the battle with 3 laps to go. On the final turn of the race it was Breuning, Day and Forrester. But the draft is always strong and Forrester times it perfect; He got by, took the win from Day by 0.005 of a second, with Breuning in 3rd at 0.027. One of the closest finishes at the Brickyard in Retro CART League history.
It was the maiden win in the series for Andrew Forrester, known for his “wait and see’ approach, that already has paid dividends in many good points finishes. Now he can add a win to that list – At Indy, no less.
