Romain Grosjean, ki je po hudi nesreči na lanski dirki v Bahrajnu končal svojo kariero v Formuli 1, je pred letošnjo sezono prestopil v ameriško serijo IndyCar, kjer je novo kariero po začetnih težavah pričel s pomembnim mejnikom.
Francoz, ki dirka za ekipo Dale Coyne Racing je dirkaški vikend v slovitem Indianapolisu pričel z najboljšim startnim položajem, svojim prvim v ameriški seriji Indy.
Grosjean je v drugem hitrem krogu za dobro desetinko premagal Josefa Newgardena, s tretjega startnega mesta pa bo dirko v Indianapolisu pričel Jack Harvey.
