The Borg-Warner trophy earned another stamp in its passport as it took a trip to Sweden to visit the home country of 2022's Indy 500 champion, Marcus Ericsson.
Ericsson’s year as the Indy 500 champion began much the same as those who came before him: the milk in Victory Circle, the winners photo the morning after the race and eventually his face added to the Borg-Warner.
The itinerary was packed full, including stops all over Stockholm, photo shoots with automotive fashion magazines, a long list of TV interviews and a warm welcome at the Swedish Embassy. “It’s a small town. Everyone knows everyone, and it’s home. It’s where I’m from [and] where I grew up. It’s always good to come back, especially for this occasion,” Ericsson said. “It was great.”
Ericsson shared moments with fans who had been there from the very beginning, as well as those who he had won over along the way.
