TORONTO - Devlin DeFrancesco has reached a new career high at his hometown IndyCar race. The 22-year-old IndyCar rookie finished 12th in qualifying on Saturday and will have his highest-ever position on the starting grid for the Honda Indy Toronto. “This was actually my first IndyCar race that I came to when I was 12 years old,” said DeFrancesco. Three-time Honda Indy champion Scott Dixon of New Zealand was second in 59.3592 and American Josef Newgarden was third in 59.5257. Both Canadians are driving in the Honda Indy for the first time as the event was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
