Coming off a pair of top-six finishes for their drivers at Texas Motor Speedway, Andretti Autosport looked to keep the positive momentum rolling. That wouldn’t be the case, though, as mechanical issues resulted in poor finishes for Carlos Munoz and Ryan Hunter-Reay.
Munoz, who finished sixth at Texas, ended up finishing the Honda Indy Toronto after the 22nd spot. It marks the second time in the last three races that he has plagued by mechanical issues as he fell out of the second race in Detroit for the same reason.
“We were having a great race; I was fourth before everything and I think we had the speed to finish in that position or to fight for the podium,” he commented. “Once again, something out of the team and my hands – it’s racing. We really need to check to see why this is happening, but we put our heads down and head to Fontana.”
Hunter-Reay, a past winner in Toronto, would finish the 85-lap race in the 19th spot after having rear-brake issues throughout the course of the event.
“I had no rear brake pressure at all and had to pull it in with one lap from the end,” he said. “Wish we could have brought home a better result in the No. 28 DHL.”
Marco Andretti finished all the laps, finishing the event in the 12th spot. Andretti is the only driver to complete every lap of every race this season.
