Colton Herta wins in St. Petersburg, ties father Bryan Herta on IndyCar victory list with 4

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Colton Herta followed the sound of his father's voice around the downtown streets of St. Petersburg, into victory lane and next to him on IndyCar's win list.

Herta on Sunday scored his fourth IndyCar victory to match the same total his father, Bryan, achieved over his own 12-year career. The son needed just 34 races for his four wins, and at the start of his third full IndyCar season, Colton Herta is already a title contender.

Herta started from the pole and led a race-record 97 of the 100 laps to win his first race with Bryan Herta as his race strategist.
