Rinus VeeKay will enter his fifth season as a full-time IndyCar driver next season. Once again he will have to deal with Arie Luyendyk as race director, a compatriot in other words. And on the other side of the Atlantic that is sometimes looked at with suspicion.
Rinus VeeKay is an established IndyCar driver, currently competing in his fifth consecutive season for Ed Carpenter Racing. He aspires to follow in the footsteps of fellow Dutch driver Arie Luyendyk, who won the Indy 500 twice. Luyendyk, now working as a steward in IndyCar, often provides advice and guidance to VeeKay and other drivers. However, this relationship has led to suspicions among VeeKay’s competitors regarding potential bias. VeeKay assures that there are multiple stewards involved in decision-making and that any bias would be addressed through their collective input. Despite some accusations, VeeKay acknowledges that he receives penalties when he makes mistakes on the track, and believes that sometimes the punishments are even too severe.
