IndyCar Series driver Ed Carpenter may spend his life diving into turns at speeds over 200 mph, but it all started by spending four years at Butler University.
The Paris, Illinois, native graduated from Butler in 2003 with a degree in Marketing.
Most race car drivers don’t go to college. After high school, they set their sights on the big leagues of motorsports and devote all their time to that.
