Rossi: “It’s hard to think back 17 years ago, but yeah, no doubt, like going to the racetrack as a kid with my parents is kind of what made me fall in love with the sport.”
Rossi, at 27, has solidified himself as a series championship contender — he finished second in the points last year and is in the same position this season.
“In practice sessions, no matter what, you’re always going to catch Sebastien Bourdais at some point,” Rossi said of the four-time Indy car series champion.
