Since winning the IndyCar Rookie Award in 2021, Scott McLaughlin has gone from strength to strength. 

He finished 3rd last year, only 39 points shy of first place, as well as having the historic pole lap at Indy500, going faster than anyone in history. 

McLaughlin and his wife also welcomed their first child in October of last year, right at the end of the racing season. 

He told Mike Hosking that life as a dad has been pretty wild, but he鈥檚 enjoyed it. 

鈥淗ad a great Christmas, and I鈥檓 just really, really excited to get back to the racetrack and get amongst it.鈥  

Their daughter will be coming to the track for the first time this weekend, which McLaughlin says will be awesome. 

This is McLaughlin鈥檚 fifth year racing, and he鈥檚 certain he can claim the win. 

鈥淚 feel like I鈥檓 in the right, the right frame of mind, I feel like I鈥檓 driving the best I ever have, and I鈥檝e got all the tools to do it.鈥 

鈥淭he title for me is a big goal.鈥
