Alexander Rossi back for Arrow McLaren for St. Louis IndyCar race after broken thumb in Toronto

Associated Press  

MADISON, Ill. — Alexander Rossi will be making his return to IndyCar this weekend at World Wide Technology Raceway near St. Louis. “I’m thrilled to be back in the car for St. Louis and looking forward to kicking off this final stretch in a positive way.” In a strange coincidence, Rossi was busy testing for Arrow McLaren at the track formerly known as Gateway last month when news leaked that the former Indy 500 winner would be replaced by Christian Lundgaard next season. “We’re elated that Alexander was given the thumbs up to return to racing this weekend,” Arrow McLaren team principal Gavin Ward said. “Let’s hope this turn of good fortune is the gateway to further success.” Qualifying rundown Scott McLaughlin qualified on the pole outside of St. Louis for the second straight year Friday with a two-lap average of 179.972 mph as Team Penske landed its three cars in the top six on the grid. “I’m super proud of where we ended up today.” Rosenqvist, Alex Palou, Scott Dixon and Katherine Legge were assessed nine-spot grid penalties Friday for going beyond the permitted number of engines this season.
