SCOTT MCLAUGHLIN’S GLOVES FROM FIRST OVAL INDYCAR WIN

Three-time Supercars champion Scott McLaughlin has been tremendously successful since making his switch to INDYCAR in the US with Team Penske.

In just his second full-time season in the category he won the season-opener on the streets of St Petersburg and then again on the permanent road courses at Mid-Ohio and Portland.

The following season he won in Alabama on his way to finishing third in the championship and he repeated that victory again this year. Despite those major points-paying finishes, he had never won on an oval. That is until July when he won the first of two races on the Iowa Speedway, which is regularly referred to as the “fastest short track on the planet”.

It was a memorable day in McLaughlin’s career who has been earmarked to be a future great of the sport, and you have the chance to own a piece of history by purchasing the gloves he used in his first ever oval win beating home Pato O’Ward, teammate Josef Newgarden and fellow Kiwi Scott Dixon.

“I always said I would not count myself as an Indycar driver until I won on an oval,” said McLaughlin. “Iowa gave me that shot this year and I took it. I am happy to give up my gloves from that inaugural win to such a great cause like Motorsport Ministries. I hope someone takes them straight to the pool room.”

The gloves have been signed by McLaughlin and professionally framed with images from that maiden victory.
