BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — It’s already been two big weeks for Marcus Ericsson, as the Chip Ganassi Racing driver brings the NTT IndyCar Series points lead into Barber Motorsports Park for Sunday’s Children’s of Alabama Indy Grand Prix. “I think turn five at Barber is the best place for overtaking,” Ericsson explained. “The first year going from 20th to P7 was one of my best races my rookie season,” Ericsson recalled. “I had a really strong race there with some good strategy and race pace. “From Barber onwards, it’s racing every week,” Ericsson said. Ericsson also enjoys his trips to Alabama to experience the lifestyle of Southern living, including one of his favorite cuisines, Barbecue. Ericsson also loves how Barber Motorsports Park owner George Barber, and his staff welcome the IndyCar community every year. We appreciate that as drivers and that is one of the reasons, we think Barber is one of the best races to go to all year.”.
