AP

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Rinus VeeKay continued IndyCar’s youth movement Saturday by scoring his first career victory with a win on the road course at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The Dutchman became the third first-time winner through five races this season. That’s the most at this point in the season since 2013. The 20-year-old is the fourth winner 24 or younger to reach victory lane this season. He joins Alex Palou, Colton Herta, and Pato O’Ward in what is quickly becoming a changing of the guard in IndyCar. Romain Grosjean finished second for his first podium finish since 2015 in Formula One.
