Scott McLaughlin is IndyCar's breakout star of 2022.
A legend Down Under by his mid-20s, the triple Australian Supercars champion was Roger Penske’s great experiment in 2021 as the New Zealander was dropped into the NTT IndyCar Series with almost no open-wheel experience.
“I was thinking about that and it was one of those things that you had to go through to get to the point I'm at now,” he told. “Unfortunately, it happened, but it's not unfortunate, because if you look at the positives, I think it's made me a better driver for years to come about being consistently in the race.
“I'm really excited because the best thing I can do for the team is to win the race,” he said. “I love the track. I've just got nothing to lose really and everything to gain so for me. I'm just hoping to take all the learnings from this year and just put it all on the table and try and make it happen. I think regardless of where we start on Sunday, I think we've got a shot regardless.
