RYAN HUNTER-REAY SNAGS SECOND WIN OF 2018

The yellow and red DHL machine took the checkered flags in Northern California today after Ryan Hunter-Reay raced to his second win of the 2018 Verizon IndyCar Series season.

The Florida-native saw the green flag wave from the pole position before driving the No. 28 car to victory lane after 85 laps.

Today’s race is Hunter-Reay’s 15th win with Andretti Autosport, and a career 18th victory for the veteran driver. He extends his distinction of being the winningest active American driver in the Verizon IndyCar Series.

His previous Verizon IndyCar Series victories include: Detroit Race 2 (’18/Andretti Autosport), Pocono (‘15/Andretti Autosport), Iowa (‘15/Andretti Autosport, ‘14/Andretti Autosport, ‘12/Andretti Autosport), Indianapolis 500 (‘14/Andretti Autosport), Barber Motorsports Park (‘14/Andretti Autosport, ‘13/Andretti Autosport), Milwaukee (‘13/Andretti Autosport, ‘12/Andretti Autosport), Baltimore (‘12/Andretti Autosport), Toronto (‘12/Andretti Autosport), New Hampshire (‘11/Andretti Autosport), Long Beach (‘10/Andretti Autosport) and Watkins Glen (‘08/Rahal Letterman Racing).
