LEBANON, Tenn. — Among all the drivers in the NTT IndyCar Series field, perhaps nobody’s name is more associated with controversy as Santino Ferrucci.
That association was justified for the umpteenth time in 2024, when the driver of the No. 14 A. J. Foyt Racing Chevrolet became the subject of an unexpected call by race control during Sunday’s (Sept. 15) Big Machine Music City Grand Prix at Nashville Superspeedway.
The Woodbury, Conn., native has developed a reputation and reinforced it this season as a major threat on ovals. Ferrucci demanded attention more than a handful of times when the series came to World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway and the Milwaukee Mile by pulling off a series of high-risk moves at both venues and walking away with two fourth-place finishes (both in the Milwaukee doubleheader) from those three races, with a 12th-place finish at Gateway being the outlier.
