Colton Herta ties father Bryan with 4th IndyCar win

Colton Herta picked up his fourth IndyCar win on the streets of St. Petersburg to tie his father Bryan with four career victories. The father and son worked together on race day to score the victory.

Herta raced to his fourth IndyCar victory to match the same total his father, Bryan, achieved over his own 12-year career. The son needed just 34 races for his four wins and he begins his third full IndyCar season as a strong title contender. "Growing up I had a lot of arrogance and I didn’t want to hear anything that my dad had to say," Herta said. "And then I realized — bigger, faster cars — I learned more about the sport and I was like ‘Hey, he actually knows what he’s talking about.’" Herta started from the pole and led a race-record 97 of the 100 laps to win his first race with Bryan Herta as his race strategist. Andretti Autosport paired the Hertas for the first time this year, dismissing previous father-son combinations that simply didn’t work in IndyCar.
