Performance Under Pressure: Managing Risk at 230 MPH

Scott drives the No. 3 Chevrolet for Team Penske, won the pole for the 2024 Indianapolis 500 with a four-lap average of 234.220 mph, and captured three consecutive Australian Supercars championships before coming to the United States. He will be interviewed by Amy Carnahan, Senior Vice President at Gallagher, in a conversation about preparation, decision-making under compressed time, and recovering when the plan falls apart.
