Sebastian Saavedra, Team AFS Racing / Andretti Autosport, No. 27 Saavedra finished today's race second, after starting third. This is his fourth podium so far this season.
"It was a good race in the #27 car. I am a bit disappointed because I wanted first place very badly. I gave it my best, but it was just not good enough. It is a bit of déjà vu getting first, second and third again with Vautier and Guerrieri. Today was important points for the championship. I just need to stay focused and look ahead. A big thanks to my AFS Racing / Andretti Autosport crew for all of their hard work. I am very happy and looking forward to what is next."

Sebastian Saavedra, Team AFS Racing / Andretti Autosport, No. 27
Saavedra was ninth in today's practice session. This is his second time racing at the Grand Prix of Baltimore, after finishing 13th last year with the IZOD IndyCar Series.
In today's Firestone Indy Lights race, Carlos Munoz made a mad dash forward after starting 12th, getting as high as third place until mechanical woes knocked him out of the race in the No. 26 Dialy-Ser entry.
