Lundgaard on silencing doubters + Buxton talks Fox debut

Two stars of IndyCar’s season opener join this week’s episode of The Race IndyCar Podcast, with Christian Lundgaard and Will Buxton joining the show.

There was plenty of talk surrounding Lundgaard and what he’d be able to achieve entering a McLaren team built around Pato O’Ward, and he discussing that and the expectation he placed on himself before his eighth-place finish which was basically the worst result possible in a weekend that could have been even better.

He discusses his affinity with Barber after a recent test and his transformation there in 2023, plus how the epic first weekend impacts his season expectations.

Buxton joins off the back of making his debut as Fox’s lead commentator for the IndyCar Series. He breaks down how the first weekend went with behind the scenes insight, talks about what to expect for the rest of 2025 and talks season and St Pete storylines with host Jack Benyon.
