Much like you or I weighing options to move up to a dream role in our careers, for Christian Lundgaard, the realization that his dreams might not play out the way he always thought they would led to a choice. He could either stay in Europe and wait for a promotion that might never come, or risk everything on a spontaneous move to IndyCar.
