2026 NTT INDYCAR Series - #21 Christian Rasmussen / Ed Carpenter Racing in 1:18 scale
The #21 entry of Christian Rasmussen for Ed Carpenter Racing in the 2026 NTT IndyCar Series represents one of the most promising young drivers on the grid. The Danish driver, a 2023 Indy NXT champion, made history by winning championships at every level of the Road to Indy ladder and carried that momentum into IndyCar with a breakthrough first victory at the Milwaukee Mile in 2025. Entering 2026, Rasmussen continues his development as a full-time driver, building a reputation for aggressive racecraft—particularly on oval circuits, where he has gained multiple positions through bold overtakes and strategy.
His #21 Dallara/Chevrolet stands out through its blend of consistency and evolving performance within Ed Carpenter Racing’s growing program. What makes this car unique is its stability in engineering leadership, with race engineer Peter Craik continuing to guide Rasmussen, allowing for a more refined and driver-specific setup compared to constantly changing programs. The car has also featured distinctive sponsor identities such as Splenda, giving it a recognizable look that can vary by event, while its setup is often optimized for race-day charge rather than outright qualifying speed—making it particularly effective in gaining positions over long stints. Combined with Rasmussen’s upward trajectory, the #21 entry is emerging as a quietly competitive and increasingly dangerous contender across the 2026 season.
