Over 31 Minutes of Hiro Matsushita Being a Menace in CART [King Hiro]

Hiro Matsushita participated in 118 races during his IndyCar career, and he was much maligned for being an obstacle on the track, especially on shorter ovals and tight street circuits Drivers and team officials would constantly voice their frustration about Hiro and his driving habits. Still, Hiro persisted on and kept racing his race Matsushita is the grandson of the founder of Panasonic, and also served as the Chairman and CEO of Swift Engineering, which supplied a couple teams the Swift chassis from 1996-1999 (including Newman-Haas Racing) My two favorite Hiro Matsushita stats - 1) he has the most laps completed in IndyCar history without leading a single lap 2) in his 118 starts, he only finished on the lead lap once (1995 Road America) While it is easy to pile onto Hiro, two things that I would call out 1) he is a braver soul than me to attempt to race in a highly fast, highly dangerous era of IndyCar 2) as demonstrated in the clips, the off-pace nature of some of his races provided plenty of entertainment value and some really dramatic moments It is also worth noting that while he surely was not as talented as his peers, he was consistently in one of the bottom teams in the sport My Links 𝕏 https://x.com/Hickey93 Venmo https://account.venmo.com/u/hickey93 Buy Me a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/hickey Disclaimer: This video contains footage and/or music that I do not own.
