WEST ALLIS – Felix Rosenqvist can point to hundreds of decisions in or out of his control that could have pointed his career in a different direction.
One of the biggest, though, was the choice by Brian Belardi, a Mequon native then running an Indy Lights team, to help Rosenqvist get to the United States, which helped him launch an IndyCar career and ultimately win the 110th Indianapolis 500 this May.
"I think Indy, when you win that race, it's the one race where you actually start to look backward a lot at how everything brought you to that moment," Rosenqvist said during a stop at one of Belardi's home tracks, the Milwaukee Mile.
"It's a cool thing because you don't really regret anything either, because once you're there everything led me here, right? But yeah, Brian was definitely one of the reasons I got here."
Rosenqvist, eighth in the NTT IndyCar Series standings, is still looking for his second win of the year following Indy and will have two chances in the Snap-on Milwaukee Mile 250 doubleheader weekend Aug. 28-30.
