NASHVILLE, TENN. — Marcus Ericsson used the slowed car in front of him as a launching ramp and shot up and over — with a dangling wing — Sebastien Bourdais’ Chevrolet.
Ericsson stuck the landing on his early race flight and avoided further disaster on the perilous city streets of Nashville on Sunday to win the inaugural Music City Grand Prix.
“I'm just trying to figure out how I ended up winning the race after flying and seeing the sky,” he said.
Ericsson conserved fuel and survived hard-charging runs from Colton Herta and Scott Dixon to grab his second victory of the season.
