Unfortunately Rosenqvist lost a lap midway through the race after a loose wheel sent him back into pit lane to get tightened. From there Rosenqvist was sent into a race-long fight to get back in the lead pack, but the No. 60 team fought through six pit stops to finish just outside the top 10.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"CToWUd a6T alignleft\" tabindex=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/ci3.googleusercontent.com\/meips\/ADKq_NZ4tMYb-Zv1FvMkYy8s2gjJ8XFx3MoIw8tKMB0svkzKxr561qKZhlX3IZUPo6LUA1REA0fE6juwTnVgzfvcGwL5jO2jzIWcFCU7Oledfqo0uA9XqnhQQDFMgf-N9SDIpcEQInPndPisVafORCZisdWCI10CIPyOB_Sq559nJxc=s0-d-e1-ft#https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/a33ba08d163385b4a77fabf6c\/_compresseds\/17736c28-bbe3-17b7-af20-1bded3991512.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" data-bit=\"iit\" \/>Malukas\u00a0started a solid ninth but fell victim to a mechanical issue on Lap 63.

We had a pretty good shot today and we were running fifth before we had a loose wheel in the pit stop so we had to come in again. We drove a great race from there on, and drove back to 11th. I gave it everything to see if there was some chance we could move up more, but we just didn\u2019t have the luck to get our lap back. I had a great car today and I think there was a lot of potential.\u201d<br \/>\n<strong>David Malukas:\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cLuck just doesn\u2019t seem to exist for us. On the plus side, the car was really fast. Even at the end there when we went back out, we were one of the fastest cars out on track. We were P4 before things went south and everything was looking really good. We learned everything we needed to from race 1 and that\u2019s really the big takeaway from the weekend. We scraped a few points, but unfortunate\u00a0weekend for us. We have one more race left so hopefully all of the bad luck is gone. I really want to finish this season on a high.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>West Allis, Wisc.
