Championship leader Christian Rasmussen won the rain-delayed Indy NXT race at World Wide Technology Raceway, but his victory wasn\u2019t helped by some uncooperative tailender traffic.

Rasmussen bounced back by cleverly using Lindh as a pick on McElrea just after half distance, and pulled away by over 4s. While Rasmussen was by far the quickest in clean air, when he caught more backmarkers he struggled badly and McElrea closed in once again.That led to a 12-lap sprint to the finish, with Rasmussen leading McElrea, Frost, Foster and Abel.

McElrea attacked Rasmussen into Turn 3 with 10 laps to go, but Foster passed Frost and then McElrea in quick succession, as Abel overtook Frost for fourth after brushing wheels. Rasmussen remained out of Foster’s reach in the closing stages, recording his fourth victory of the season, with McElrea finishing third from Abel, Frost, Siegel and Brabham.
