He is tbe third Swede to do that after Kenny Bräck (1999) and Marcus Ericsson (2022).
Folks that don’t know the Indy 500 much don’t know the international appeal it has. Most folks think of the Indy 500 as a purely American thing. I have a French friend who goes to the Indy 500 every year.
the winners in 1913 and 1914 were French, 191 was British.
I previously worked with the great grandson of the 1915 winner. He was American.
It’s always been an international event.
