IndyCar’s newest race winner interviewed

After a dramatic finish to the Milwaukee IndyCar race last weekend, the person responsible for that drama, Christian Rasmussen, joins the pod exclusively to talk about becoming IndyCar’s newest race winner.

The Ed Carpenter driver walks through how he went from sixth to first with outrageous overtakes in the final stint, why he tried so hard to overtake lapped cars in the closing laps, and the reason his car had so much oversteer which he dealt with incredibly.

He also discusses the bigger picture of being given the faith of his eponymous team owner who stepped back from his own IndyCar seat for Rasmussen late last year, how new investment in the team is helping now and promising a lot for the future and of course, he addresses the people who say he’s too aggressive in on-track combat.

Host Jack Benyon also picks out more of the key storylines from the penultimate race, ahead of Nashville’s finale.
