GRRL! SUMMARY:
- MADELINE STEWART finally broke through for her first top-10 finish of the season at Indianapolis, claiming tenth place in race two after being unfairly caught up in someone else’s mess in race one. The JDX Racing driver showed she belongs in the fight, qualifying 13th with her season’s best lap time and consistently running competitive pace all weekend.
- The breakthrough came when STEWART capitalized on fellow female driver SABRE COOK’s late-race spin to move into tenth, then held her ground despite aging tires. She actually got faster as the race went on, setting personal best sector times and a new fastest lap on lap 24 while managing the gap behind her like a seasoned pro.
- This Indianapolis result builds on momentum from Road America where STEWART scored her biggest points haul of the season. The Kiwi driver has been steadily improving her one-lap pace and race craft, proving she can challenge for top-10 positions when everything comes together and the racing gods aren’t working against her.
