Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing took a chance on putting a teenager in one of their entries at Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course during the summer of 2021. I’d like to think we as a team helped him, but still, when you get out there and you start going, it’s kind of like holy smokes, this is a different place. “I have compatriots in Europe that I’ve trusted over the years, and everybody said, ‘You’ve got to give this guy Christian Lundgaard a shot. What I like a lot about Mike is he tells you what he thinks. “I don’t think necessarily my chances would have been as big in Europe as they would have been here. After a full season in IndyCar, however, Lundgaard likes it better over here. “I don’t think there’s been much I haven’t really liked about IndyCar so far,” he said. What I like about IndyCar is the feeling I have here is the feeling I got when I fell in love with go-karts.
