September 17, 2018 RNW Staff

Ferrucci, who was starting 20th in the 25-car field, had to fight with a throttle to fuel system error right from the start.

Bourdais Drives Smart Race to Finish Sixth in Season Finale at Sonoma Raceway

September 17, 2018 RNW Staff

Sebastien Bourdais Race Quote: “We had to play the long game. It was a day where the tire degradation was really high and the stints were long. We pitted early when everybody freaked out with some apparent oil on the track, which I didn’t see. After that it was going to be long stints the rest of the way and the tires were struggling. We just did what we had to do. At the end of the day, it worked out and we finished seventh in the championship, which was the goal today. So I’m really happy with the result. Thanks to the SealMaster guys, thanks to all our sponsors and let’s all do it again next year.”
