Veteran racer is seeking his eighth career IndyCar win and first of 2023.
You might say Colton Herta attended his first Long Beach Grand Prix at 14. Now that wouldn’t seem unusual except for one thing: the 14 was as in days old, not years.' second-most popular race after the Indianapolis 500 ever since.
Now 23—years old, that is—Herta is a veteran not only of attending the annual street race at Long Beach first as a fan, but he’s gearing up for his fourth race there as an IndyCar driver this Sunday. But winning is just a part of the whole package. The huge crowds that attend, the great weather and all the other events associated with the big show make Long Beach so unique.
“I think it's been a bit crazy for everybody,” Herta said of the season to date."There's very few people that have had two good races so far. It’s really bizarre to finish 20th at St. Pete after being taken out, then finish seventh at Texas and you wind up being 11th in the standings now. But even though 23 years old may seem young in racing terms, in F1, that’s practically middle age. That’s why Herta is in such a quest to join the global racing series soon.
