NTT IndyCar Series 2024 - Firestone Grand Prix of Monterey

The 2024 NTT IndyCar Series completes the trio of races that occurred on the first Sunday of Summer 2024 in North America with the Firestone Grand Prix of Monterey in the legendary Laguna Seca.

The action in Laguna Seca began with Alex Palou and Kyle Kirkwood edging side-by-side in the opening lap. It continued with Scott McLaughlin going off-track on lap 26, then Luca Giotto crashing on lap 35, and Nolan Siegel clipping the wall on the lap 41 restart.

With Colton Herta leading, Alex Palou was homing onto Herta on lap 64 to retake the lead. With 22 laps to go, Christian Lundgaard sent Marcus Armstrong off the track. And with 9 laps left, Graham Rahal and Kyffin Simpson got involved in a crash.
