It wasn’t all about racing for Marcus Ericsson, as the four-time IndyCar race winner took time out from the track to enjoy a round of golf with his fellow IndyCar drivers. The Swedish driver joined Conor Daly, Sting Ray Robb and former driver James Hinchcliffe to enjoy the ‘gentleman’s game.’
The Andretti Autosport star, known for his vibrant personality, took part in a charity golf event organized by James Hinchcliffe for the Stop and Go Foundation at Brickyard Crossing, located at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Marcus Ericsson shared a glimpse of the outing on his Instagram. Posting a carousel of images featuring himself alongside his fellow IndyCar drivers, the 34-year-old captioned it:
“Room for improvement on the golf course 😅⛳️🏌️ Any pros out there, please give me some pointers in the comments! Thanks @hinchtown for organising a fun outing for a great cause. #stopandgofoundation #429.”
As attention shifts back to racing, Marcus Ericsson will aim for a stronger showing at the next IndyCar race — the Children’s Grand Prix of Alabama at Barber Motorsports Park. The former Chip Ganassi driver has endured a challenging start to the 2025 season, with his best result so far coming at the season-opening St. Petersburg Grand Prix, where he finished sixth. Ericsson will be hoping to deliver a much-improved performance at the Alabama event.
Marcus Ericsson reacts after Indy 500 testing
Marcus Ericsson shared his thoughts following the conclusion of the two-day testing ahead of the upcoming Indy 500 event. Several drivers were involved in an open test ahead of the 109th running of the Indianapolis showpiece.
The Andretti driver, who—like everyone on the grid—was testing the hybrid engine technology set to debut at the event, recorded a ninth-place finish on the first day of testing, reaching a speed of 225.505 mph, before mustering a 12th-place finish with a top speed of 230.075 mph on the final day of the test.
Sharing his thoughts following the event, the former Formula 1 driver took to X to post a series of images from the test, captioning them:
“Oh it’s great to be back @IMS 🫶🏻🤩. A good couple of days testing. Car is fast. Bring on May.”
The former Chip Ganassi star holds fond memories of racing at the “Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” In 2022, he clinched victory at the event following a masterfully executed drive to edge out Arrow McLaren’s Pato O’Ward for first place. However, since his switch to Andretti in 2024, the driver has endured far fewer memorable outings at the IMS event. His 2024 appearance saw him suffer a crash on the first lap following contact with Tom Blomqvist.
