Nolan Siegel came up short in a daringly spectacular last gasp run to make the field of 33 for the Indianapolis 500, but the performance showcased the foundation for a bright future.
The phrase “just send it” is common among drivers, but the reality is very few have the courage to push through a corner at nearly 240mph without lifting once something feels imperfect. And that can’t really be blamed as one could imagine it is absolutely scary as hell once something goes awry at those speeds; if there is even enough time to feel fear in the moment.
Miller / Motorsport Images “The pressure of that, and you've got to go out to perform and know that that could be your only shot and you may not get a chance if someone goes quicker to rebut it,” Kimball said. “The mental fortitude and the composure to go run those four laps like he did, you saw an Indy 500 champion , the guy who finished second last year, not have that same mental strength and make a mental error on lap four .” And the respect for Siegel has extended throughout the paddock.
