Marcus Ericsson, of Sweden, carries his gear after a session during an open test for the Indianapolis 500 auto race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis, Thursday, April 20, 2023. So when the 32-year-old Swede pulled into victory lane at last year's Indianapolis 500, he savored every moment of the seemingly endless victory lap.
Ericsson's resume certainly looks different a year after he described himself as a "pay driver," someone who joins a team because of the sponsorship money tied to the driver rather than someone contracted to the team regardless of sponsorship dollars.
In February, Ericsson attended an NHL game at Madison Square Garden and visited the league's New York headquarters. Two weeks later, he was back in Indy watching the NBA's Indiana Pacers and meeting rap star, actor and television producer 50 Cent. He didn't fare much better when he moved to the U.S. in 2019. Aside from a surprise runner-up finish at Detroit with Arrow Schmidt Peterson Motorsports, he never finished higher than seventh.
