Dutch IndyCar driver Rinus VeeKay discusses his qualifying 2nd for the 107th Indy 500 - his fourth top four qualifying finish for the race.

Speaking to Sport Today's Ed Harry, the Ed Carpenter Racing driver explained how his Dutch heritage helps with qualifying for the historic race.

VeeKay and his compatriot Max Verstappen compete in two of motorsport's triple crown on the same Sunday in May - Formula One's Monaco Grand Prix and the Indianapolis 500 - and believes a Dutch double victory would be cause for 'a national celebration of motorsport' in the Netherlands.
