And joining me this morning, IndyCar driver Christian Rasmussen. Thanks for joining us. Yeah, thanks for having me. All right, so thousands of fans came out to the inaugural Arlington Java House Grand Prix last year. What did you think about racing in Arlington? Because it got a lot of hype, and there were, you know, after the race, a lot of good reviews of it. No, I thought it was a great event, you know. And, you know, racing, you know, right next to the Globe Life Field Stadium, the AT&T Stadium and everything. Like, I thought it was the perfect place to have a IndyCar race right there, you know. And then with already having the partnership with the Rangers and the Cowboys, I think was, yeah, I don't know. It just made it such a great event. And you got to look at all that stuff before the race because during, you're not seeing any of it. You're not seeing much of it. No, we are doing, you know, we're going close to 190 down the straight, Which makes it the highest speed street course that we go to and so now it was an incredible event It was super cool, and we're all super excited to to come back again Yeah, and for people that maybe have never been to an IndyCar race It's exciting. I mean I got to go to last year's race What do you think I think draws in because IndyCar has been? Increasing the number of fans exponentially And I think people in I think the Java House Grand Prix of Arlington was was a really good Event to show what IndyCar is all about, you know And I think the Arlington race kind of set the bar of what street course racing should look like in IndyCar you know, I think they did an amazing job with all the the suites and Access for all the fans that they have at an IndyCar race And I think that's partly what makes IndyCar so unique is is the access for the fans, you know Anyone can get up close and personal with the cars and you know see way more what it's all about which i think is super cool you know we've been talking a lot this morning about the the big Tesla event where they had you know they demonstrated the the car and and and demonstrated this fan system on the bottom of the car that sucks it to the pavement which basically is downforce which is what you guys try to achieve as much as you can every race no you're you're exactly right you know we obviously achieve it in a little bit of a different way right but think of it as a upside down airplane uh that's driving around you know like we're just generating so much downforce and that's kind of what makes us go as quickly around the the corners as as we as we can uh on screen right now is my uh Milwaukee when i can see here that was a good idea there you go speaking of cars hopefully we can do that uh during the Arlington race here uh here next year he also a big classic car guy also that yeah yeah so let me ask you a question then uh do you prefer or do you think it's more impressive a classic car that you see that has very little at all that's been done to it but is in great condition yeah or do you like the mods i mean it's hard right because i uh i like both i can appreciate both you know i i think once you go like older than 80s yeah i can appreciate it being just stock matching numbers that and whatever and but i also have my own little car that i like to work on and i like to modify and stuff you know so it's i'm a little split yeah a little bit depends on the car and thank you for not making me feel too old yeah at least you got it to the 80s yeah right all right But single day tickets go on sale today.
