Rasmussen braces for upcoming Barber test with Ed Carpenter Racing
The 23-year-old Danish driver, fresh off a successful season in Indy NXT, will be participating in an on-track trial next Monday alongside Oliver Askew, the 2019 Indy NXT champion. Although Rasmussen has aspirations to secure a seat on the grid for the next season, he is approaching the trial with a tempered mindset, considering it just a test for now. The upcoming opportunity at Barber Motorsports Park is significant for Rasmussen, as it is the same track where he ignited his title push earlier this year. This will be his second test in an IndyCar, the first one being with Andretti Global in 2022. Since this test is taking place towards the end of the season, Rasmussen has had more time to prepare, including simulator work and getting familiar with the team and car. While locking up a ride for next season is a top priority, Rasmussen understands that the current state of the IndyCar world and hybrid testing means there are many variables, making it difficult to predict when a resolution will be reached.
