A 12th and a 22nd preceded her Pocono performance, in which she was one of 11 drivers sitting poised to make magic happen in the final 20 laps. While the magic ended up going to Sakura Ishibashi, Lucien Lachapelle, and Anastasius von Sonnen to launch them onto the podium, Lundqvist was all smiles climbing out of her Cherokee GP-Alpine in parc ferme. "The race went better than I was expecting it to go. First oval event in years, and it's one of the big ones where the full field shows up. I wasn't sure what to expect. A top ten finish makes me very happy." The race was also the first where she had beat her teammate, Keisha Fox. Fox, who finished 13th, over ten seconds adrift of the race winner, was not quite as happy as her teammate, having been so close to winning the Indianapolis 500 in May. "I thought there was definitely potential we ended up leaving behind." Fox said after the race. "13th isn't bad considering how many finished, but we had a top 5 car, and we should have been up there. We'll try to recover more of it at Watkins Glen in a couple of weeks."[/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
