Pato O’Ward joins Matt and Brian to talk about photos from across his career -- from childhood karting days to INDYCAR wins and Indy 500 heartbreak.
We walk Pato through the moments that shaped him: his first IndyCar win in Texas, chasing Alex Palou, and what it really felt like coming painfully close at the Indy 500. Plus, we talk about the new IndyCar race in Arlington, life at Arrow McLaren, and test his knowledge of the big boss, Zak Brown.
HUGE thank you to INDYCAR for making this interview possible! Be sure to watch the Arlington GP this Sunday, 3/15 @ 12:30 PM ET on FOX!
