NTT INDYCAR SERIES rookies Callum Ilott and Christian Lundgaard were dropped into one of the most unique experiences of their young lives March 2 at Texas Motor Speedway: their first laps on a high-speed oval. Lundgaard, meanwhile, had driven many laps in the simulator, both in preparation for Wednesday’s test and before he decided to come to the NTT INDYCAR SERIES to drive the No. “Honestly, I had no idea what to expect with these ovals,” Ilott said. Ilott and Lundgaard know that with 27 cars on the track, it will be a completely different feel than testing, but they’re ready. “With only five other cars are around you, it’s less fun, but at the same time it’s exciting,” Lundgaard said.
