WashingtoncTypeface:> Colton Herta became the youngest winner in IndyCar history on Sunday, the 18-year-old American taking the checkered flag in his only third series start at the IndyCar Classic. The son of former IndyCar driver Brian Herta prevailed over 60 laps on a 3.41-mile, 20-turn road course in the series debut at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas. "It was spectacular,” Herta said. "Holy crap I’m worn out. I need a nap now.”Herta, a class co-champion in January’s 24 Hours of Daytona, broke the former age mark set by American Graham Rahal. Rahal, another second-generation IndyCar racer, was 19 years and three months when he won in 2008 at St. Petersburg, Florida.
