2025-12-06
In this follow-up interview, Brent Cusick of Aerodyne Advanced Composites (one of the only certified repair stations for the IndyCar series) details his critical role in carbon fiber chassis repair and quality control. Brent reflects on his tenure at Honda Performance Development (HPD), where he was a key part of two Indy 500 victories, including the historic 100th Running with Alexander Rossi and Takuma Sato’s first win. He explains the profound "get it done" work ethic required in racing, where crew members are expected to take on more work without complaint. Finally, Brent shares a raw account of the sport's darker side, detailing the "no pity party" reality of having to work through the tragedy of Justin Wilson's death.
