St. Petersburg, Florida – With just 90 minutes of practice prior to taking the green flag from ninth on the starting grid, Zack Meyer was optimistic about how his #2 TMR/DAMIS PARTNERS III/Innisfil Indy Karting/Xtreme Coil Drilling car would perform over the duration of the 45-lap St. Petersburg 100. While he showed his pace early in the race, pulling off a bold pass on fellow Indy Lights Presented by Cooper Tires rookie Lloyd Read, Canadian Meyer would eventually settle for a final finishing position of eighth.
