    Kiwi Supercars driver Scott McLaughlin indicates he wants to pursue racing career in USA

    Kiwi Supercars driver Scott McLaughlin has indicated he wants to pursue a racing career in the United States, after his IndyCar test earlier this week


    The two-time series champion completed 141 laps in a Team Penske car during a test day in Florida.

    Describing the opportunity as a "bucket list" moment, McLaughlin is aiming to ensure the drive is not his last behind the wheel of an IndyCar.

    He's told racer.com he's made it really clear to the team he'd love to try and pursue opportunities in the States.
