Santino Ferrucci on potentially being the next first-time race winner in IndyCar

Santino Ferrucci has so far competed in only 77 IndyCar races. However, with his impressive showing in the 2024 season, the IndyCar Radio host asked him if he would be the sport's next first-time race winner.

As a response, Ferrucci has the following to add:

"Dude anywhere, and yeah, I do. Whether it's Indy or St. Pete when we unroll, dude I feel good at so many tracks now, we've had success just about everywhere we have been, the only track that was a bit of a struggle for us last year was really long beach and Indy GP of all things, Other than that, we have been super consistent," Ferrucci added.

The 2025 IndyCar season is slated to kick off with the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg on March 2. Last year, Santino Ferrucci managed a ninth place finish in the race. He started the race from P14 but was able to make up five places.

The 26-year-old is high on confidence following his exploits from last year. AJ Foyt Racing will expect an even better campaign from its star driver and considering this, the pressure will be on Ferrucci to deliver. During the upcoming Firestone Grand Prix race weekend, he will have several eyes glued on him. Moreover, from a personal standpoint, he will be eyeing a better finish than P9.
