Before this weekend’s festivities at the Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama, Honda IndyCar drivers Conor Daly of Dale Coyne Racing and Alexander Rossi of Andretti Herta Autosport paid a visit the U.S. Space & Rocket Center’s Space Camp in Huntsville, Ala.
The two Verizon IndyCar Series rookies spoke to a crowd of young fans and experimented with a few programs once there, along with NBCSN IndyCar pit reporter Katie Hargitt.
