Lundqvist inching closer to IndyCar debut

Reigning Indy Lights (now Indy NXT) champion Linus Lundqvist is getting closer to making his NTT IndyCar Series race debut.

The 24-year-old Swede captured five wins, seven poles, and nine podiums last year on the way to claiming the title with HMD Motorsports, and has conducted IndyCar tests on an oval with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing and a road course with Ed Carpenter Racing this season in preparation for any opportunities that might arise.
