RaceSchool.com Podcast Louis Foster Interview

Louis Foster is in his second year with the Rahal Letterman Lannigan IndyCar Series team and earned pole position at the new street race in Markham, Ontario, Canada in August 2026. That was his second career pole after last year’s first starting spot at Road America as a rookie. We met up with Foster during a media session at this year’s Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach. The former Indy Lights champion has had an up-and-down year; however, you can tell from this interview that he’s an incredibly motivated driver who wants to succeed in this series. He talks a bit about how he got here and how that’s prepared him. Enjoy!

With his cool vest on, Louis Foster waves to the fans just prior to the start of the 2026 Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach.
Foster makes his way around the tricky Turn 10 at Long Beach which, for the rest of the year, is a parking lot for the Long Beach Convention Center and Arena.
Foster gets about as close as you can get to the Turn 11 hairpin wall without hitting it. He represented this sponsor when he grabbed the pole at Markham, Ontario, Canada.
Hitting the apex at the fountain, Foster slides his way perfectly through this tight section.
