US EditionPato O'Ward battles customs delay for special helmet ahead of Indianapolis 500
- Pato O'Ward from Mexico faced a customs delay for his special Indianapolis 500 helmet ahead of the race in Indianapolis on May 13, 2025.
- The delay occurred because customs withheld the helmet shipped from Germany due to a disputed customs fee that O'Ward argued he had already paid.
- During Tuesday's weather interruption at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, O'Ward spent over 48 minutes on the phone attempting to resolve a customs payment issue for his helmet and voiced frustration over not receiving a payment link.
- He described the helmet as being held "ransom" and was willing to pay the customs fee a second time if needed to secure timely delivery.
- The rain delay allowed O'Ward more time to sort the problem, and he planned to debut the helmet on Friday at the event known as "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.
