To My Late Grandmother

Who Is Always Close at Heart

I like to win.

As a kid, growing up in Canada, I knew I was born to race. I love to compete, I love to go fast, I love to say “yes” to life. And I was willing to do whatever it took to go full speed ahead toward my goal of competing in the Indianapolis 500.

Eight years of passion and persistence made my debut in the Indianapolis 500 in 2011 possible. Life was moving fast: I was recognized as the IndyCar Series Rookie of the Year. In 2012, I was voted Favorite Driver by IndyCar Series fans. Open‐wheel racing was my new home. I was living my dream life at 230 miles per hour. I started 2015 with a new team. We won the Grand Prix of New Orleans in only our second race together. Things were going great. In May of that year, I was driving at Indianapolis once again. Race day at the Indy 500 was in my sights.

Until I came around turn number three.

That practice day started out like any other. The sun was shining, the track was clear, and I was working to perfect my car for the “greatest spectacle in racing.” There was some light traffic and I was running behind a driver by the name of Montoya. I came into turn three at about 225 miles per hour. What happened next no one could have predicted.

In my business, I work hard to maintain perfection. To keep control. To make sure that I'm doing everything I can to keep that car going where I want it to go. But, in spite of my best efforts, something happened in the turn. Something beyond my control.
