In this episode of the Track Limits Podcast, we sit down with Colton Herta, Andretti Autosport driver and the youngest race winner in IndyCar history. Colton opens up about that record-setting Toronto victory, the intense world of professional racing, and his unique life off the track, including his band “The Sibs,” his surprising love-hate relationship with golf, and his dedication to animal rescue.
From hilarious memories of touring with a MySpace-era Screamo band to reflecting on the influence of his father, Bryan Herta, this episode blends humour, honesty, and heart. Whether you’re an IndyCar fan or just curious about what makes Colton tick, this one’s a must-watch.
