Although Max had qualified 25th for the race, he had been third
quickest in the morning warmup for this weekend's Molson Indy
Vancouver.
When the race began Max drove intelligently and quickly. Avoiding
the accidents that others were having around him and benefiting from
smart team race strategy during the ensuing full-course yellow
conditions, Max had moved into the eighth spot by the 25th lap of
the scheduled 100 laps.
Less than a dozen laps later the all too unforgiving realities of
racing put him on the sidelines.
An electrical failure in the ignition switch left him without
power and stranded on the back side of the course, away from the
pits where repairs could have been attempted.
He ended his day where he started, in 25th position.
