Moments after winning the biggest and most prestigious race of his motorsports career, Jack Harvey shared mutual congratulations with team co-owner Sam Schmidt and asked, “Does this mean I can drive your IndyCar?” First things first, such as earning the Indy Lights Presented by Cooper Tires championship and the $750,000 scholarship toward the Verizon IndyCar Series with three guaranteed races, including the Indianapolis 500. “We’re working toward that,” said Harvey, who moved atop the standings halfway through the season. The second-year Indy Lights Presented by Cooper Tires driver won the Freedom 100 Presented by Allied Building Products under caution, but that didn’t detract from the accomplishment. “This is one of the few moments when I’m speechless,” said Harvey, who started second in the 40-lap race on the 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval. “It's bound to be a career highlight. It was the one race that I wanted to win all season. As I was going over the line, I had a few tears in my eyes and when I was getting interviewed, my legs were shaking.” Harvey, 22, of England, also won one of the doubleheader races on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course earlier this month. "I don't know how to explain winning here twice out of three races and we could've had another podium, but especially the Freedom 100,” he added. “It just means the world and I know it means the world to the crew, too. It's everything I've worked for." A spirited race-long battle with Schmidt Peterson Motorsports with Curb-Agajanian teammate and pole sitter Ethan Ringel looked as if it would extend to the final lap. But the lone caution came out on Lap 38 when the No. 8 Carlin car driven by Ed Jones made contact with the Turn 4 SAFER Barrier. He was uninjured. “I used the back markers in the right way and I think I actually would have held off Ethan to the end,” said Harvey, who traded the point with his 20-year-old teammate six times. “It’s a real chess match out there, and I think Ethan drove a great race.” Second was a season high for Ringel. In fact, Schmidt Peterson Motorsports with Curb-Agajanian entries swept the top four positions, with Scott Anderson placing third and RC Enerson finishing fourth. “I really love ovals. It’s the ride of your life every lap, especially on this track,” Ringel said. “The road courses I need more work on; it’s a matter of getting more seat time. On the ovals, it’s a matter of getting comfortable, and I think I’m there.”
