Marcus Armstrong: Kiwi IndyCar driver ahead of driving his first ovals for the 2024 season

Kiwi IndyCar driver Marcus Armstrong is set to complete his next big challenge during the 2024 racing season. After claiming the Rookie of the Year title on a part-time schedule in 2023, he's expected to race the full programme for Chip Ganassi Racing. This means Armstrong will drive ovals for the first time in his career, starting with the Indy500 in May. He says getting used to ovals will require some adjustment, but he's got a good team around him. "The first time I saw an IndyCar going round superspeedway- I was almost blown away. It's like, for lack of a better word, a spaceship, it's so fast." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
