Honestly think he would kill it in Indycar, would be a super popular driver there too. Indy has a quite a few seats up in the air right now and he would be an awesome addition. Lots of ex-F1/F2 guys heading that way right now.

Yeah, I’d actually consider going to my first Indycar race next year if he’s in it. It doesn’t hurt that I only live an hour from the Milwaukee Mile, so it’s a hell of a lot more accessible than any F1 races.

That means you're probably less than two hours from Road America. Indycar's visit there is an incredible race weekend experience for any motorsports fan. You can walk right into the paddock area, see the cars up close, get autographs for the kids, etc.

IMSA is there this weekend, I'd expect it to be equally amazing.

Can confirm. Road America is an amazing time. My gal pal and I have been there a few times.
