I'm Listening to This: Scott McLaughlin

From Sunday Morning, 10:04 am on 29 May 2022

New Zealand motorsport star Scott McLaughlin has competed in plenty of big races during a career that has seen him claim three consecutive Australian Supercar Championship titles.

But he will take part in what is easily the biggest race of his life when he lines up on the starting grid for the 106th running of the Indianapolis 500 in the early hours of Monday morning (NZ time).

The Team Penske driver joined IndyCar in 2020 and has so far managed to pick up one race win and three podiums. Although he's further back in the grid than he would have liked (qualifying in 26th place), McLaughlin enters the race - which will take place in front of up to 400,000 fans - in third place in the IndyCar standings.

McLaughlin joins the show to discuss his first Indy 500 and share a track that really gets his wheels spinning.
