Happy Birthday, Oli
Sam Schmidt Motorsports driver Oliver Webb didn't need a cake or a party. As he wrote on Twitter: "No better way to spend your 21st Birthday than racing around a beautiful Barber race track in an 200mph machine!"
The young Englishman, who recently relocated to Indianapolis, spent the milestone at Barber Motorsports Park learning his new machine before the season opener at St. Petersburg. On the final day of testing, Webb was one spot away from fastest in the second morning practice.
"For me, about 70-80 percent of the tracks I've never seen until the Friday of practice," Webb said. "So it's good for me to have the guys on the team [who have experience]."
