Scott McLaughlin: Kiwi IndyCar driver ahead of the 2026 season

from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB

After almost six months, IndyCar is returning this weekend.  Scott Dixon, Marcus Amstrong, and Scott McLaughlin are all lining up on the streets of St Petersburg for the first race – the same streets where McLaughlin got pole last year.   However, McLaughlin has admitted that 2025 was a frustrating year, as he finished 10th in the Championship with three podiums.   He told Mike Hosking that it was really the lowest of lows for him in many cases, and he’s trying to turn that negative into a positive.  McLaughlin says he doesn’t have to do too much differently, he just has to execute it better.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
