It was announced on Thursday that the Juncos Hollinger Racing team has taken up its option on incumbent Ilott for the next two seasons, but team founder Juncos has admitted the team and its British rookie driver have faced an uphill battle in 2022 as theirs is the only single-entry team on the IndyCar grid.

The two-time IndyCar champion dominated the first of Iowa’s two races last weekend, and was leading the second on Sunday when a suspected failure of his right-rear shock absorber spun him into the wall. After being cleared at the infield medical centre, Newgarden held a coherent interview with NBC but later suffered a loss of consciousness

The 2020 Formula 2 runner-up first raced with JHR in the final three events of the 2021 season and impressed enough that he was signed up for 2022, as the championship-winning Road To Indy team stepped up to run a full IndyCar season for the first time. The 23-year-old Briton has qualified inside the top

Chip Ganassi Racing, for whom Palou scored a 14th IndyCar drivers’ title last year, yesterday released a statement announcing it was taking him to court for signing with McLaren Racing for 2023. “Alex Palou is under contract with Chip Ganassi Racing through the end of the 2023 season,” said the CGR release. “He is a

Dale Coyne Racing lost its star rookies of 2020 and 2021, Alex Palou and Romain Grosjean, to Chip Ganassi Racing and Andretti Autosport respectively for their second seasons. But team owner Coyne is eager to keep hold of last year’s Indy Lights runner-up Malukas, who sits just four points behind Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing’s Christian

In a statement from the team, for whom Palou scored its 14th IndyCar drivers’ title last year, Ganassi stated: “Alex Palou is under contract with Chip Ganassi Racing through the end of the 2023 season. He is a valued member of our team, and we will continue to support him in chasing wins, podiums, and

The Mexican bounced back from back-to-back mechanical misfortunes in Road America and Mid-Ohio with a second place and a victory from last weekend’s Iowa double-header. His strong points haul puts him 36 points off championship leader Marcus Ericsson in fifth, with Team Penske team-mates Will Power and Josef Newgarden plus Ericsson’s Chip Ganassi Racing team-mate

Following his heavy shunt while leading the second race at Iowa, and later brief loss of consciousness, Newgarden was taken to MercyOne Des Moines Medical Center, where he stayed overnight. The 2017 and 2019 champion was released this morning to return home to Nashville. However, per IndyCar Series protocols, Newgarden will be re-evaluated by the

The Team Penske-Chevrolet ace, who dominated Race 1 at Iowa on Saturday, appeared set to do the same in Race 2, after wresting the lead away from polesitting team-mate Will Power before one-third distance and leading 148 laps. However, on the 235th of 300 laps, the #2 Penske appeared to ‘sit down’ on its rear

Having taken the lead on lap 85, catching polesitter Power who had to slow trying to lap Romain Grosjean, Newgarden looked set to record a dominant double at Iowa, having been peerless on Saturday’s opener. But suddenly on lap 235, a failure at the right-rear of the car sent Newgarden spinning hard into the wall,

After taking the lead from polesitter and Penske team-mate Will Power in the early stages, Newgarden dominated the 250 lap race held on the 0.804 mile oval, that was punctuated by a series of cautions. Having survived brief contact with Indy 500 winner Marcus Ericsson, Newgarden went on to take the win from Arrow McLaren’s

Each car completed a two-lap run in qualifying for the double-header with the first flyer determining grid order for Saturday’s first race, and the second lap setting order for Sunday’s round. Power was the only driver to break the 178mph barrier and he did it twice, to draw within one pole position of Mario Andretti’s

Although Rosenqvist has been retained by McLaren Racing for 2023 and beyond, there are question marks over whether he’ll remain in IndyCar alongside Pato O’Ward and 2023 arrival Alexander Rossi, regardless of reigning champion Palou’s destiny. Like Rosenqvist, IndyCar champion Palou has been signed to the McLaren Racing ‘family’ but it is not clear yet

The six-time IndyCar champion passed polesitter Colton Herta for the lead when the Andretti Autosport driver was still bringing his tyres up to temperature having pitting one lap later than Dixon, and held on to win by 0.8 seconds after 85 laps of the Canadian street track. His 52nd career victory meant the Chip Ganassi Racing driver

Polesitter Herta still secured his first podium since winning the rain-soaked Grand Prix of Indianapolis in May, but revealed that his job of pressuring Dixon and defending from third-placed Felix Rosenqvist was made difficult in the closing stages when his vision became limited by his hair. “I couldn’t really see much because my head sock broke,”

The latest success means Dixon now matches Mario Andretti in second on the all-time IndyCar winners list. From the start, polesitter Herta was unthreatened, while Dixon swept across from the outside to ensure Newgarden couldn’t sneak up from third to claim second. Newgarden checked his momentum and that allowed Alexander Rossi around his outside to try

In Mid-Ohio Alexander Rossi collided with Romain Grosjean and Devlin DeFrancesco, and Grosjean nudged Herta off the track. But today in Toronto the team bounced back, with Herta and Rossi taking first and fourth in qualifying, while Grosjean – who hit the wall in the morning – salvaged 11th alongside DeFrancesco in 12th, who survived two

In the pole position shootout between those in the fast six, Alexander Rossi set the early marker to beat of 59.6090s, until Newgarden scorched around in 59.5257s despite grazing the wall. That would have looked good enough for pole, especially after David Malukas of Dale Coyne Racing came within 0.0287s, but Herta found a remarkable

Construction work for the Toronto X hotel in 2016 obliged organisers to ask track designer Tony Cotman to substantially alter the final sector of the course, as well as shifting the pitlane from driver’s right to driver’s left. The result is a pitlane that arcs sharp left on entry at Turn 9, then right at

The start of the session was delayed by over 30 minutes as the safety crews and Toronto track workers rebuilt the Turn 3 wall and fence and replaced electrical cables, following a heavy shunt in the supporting Porsche Carrera Cup North America qualifying session. The first casualty of the session was Josef Newgarden, who felt

Following an incident-packed Mid-Ohio round, in which he was involved in tangles with team-mates Romain Grosjean and Devlin deFrancesco, Rossi stormed to the fastest time on the Toronto street track with a 1m00.609s lap that was 0.090s quicker than Meyer-Shank Racing’s Pagenaud. Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing’s Graham Rahal was also within a tenth of the
