PORTLAND, Ore. — Benjamin Pedersen finished the job Sunday in the Indy Lights Grand Prix of Portland, while Linus Lundqvist still has a bit of work to do to reach his ultimate goal. Championship leader Lundqvist needed to leave this race with a 109-point lead to clinch his first Indy Lights title, but he is 103 points ahead of Brabham after finishing third in the No. Lundqvist only needs to lead by at least 54 points after the Saturday race to lock up the championship. He capped his magic carpet ride by leading all 35 laps of the race. That fracas elevated Brabham to second and Lundqvist to third, where they held station for the rest of the race. Obviously, it would have been nice to finish ahead of Brabham and be finished with it, but we’ll see.
