He is an American driver also!
The driver is from CA!
He sounded like he had a mild British accent. I wonder if he’s been racing in Britain a lot - sometimes you pick up the accent of people you associate with on a daily basis.
When I saw Mrs. Brady (Florence Henderson) in the background at the winners circle, I thought she might be his Grandmother! It turns out she was the grand marshal for the race. It’s fitting that an American won the 100th Indy 500.
