Just over a week before the IndyCar season resumes at the oval of Gateway more changes in the driver line-ups were announced. First of all Agustín Canapino was dropped by Juncos Hollinger Racing. The Argentine driver drove all but one races this season for Juncos, as he was benched for the race on Road America…
Pole position in Toronto for Colton Herta makes it his third of the season, the most of any driver on the grid. The Californian achieved it in style, having topped both free practice sessions and now qualifying too, he currently sits in a position to sweep the weekend if a win is achieved tomorrow. It…
Colton Herta tops a procesional session on the streets of Toronto as all 26 out of the 27 drivers attempted to find the limits in the caverns of concrete. Andretti appear to be the car to beat going into qualifying as a sweep of practice so far from Herta was backed up by his teammate…
Practice kicked off in Toronto under nice blue skies, with Hunter McElrea making his debut in the series with Dale Coyne. 45-minute session — All cars Rinus VeeKay led inside the opening 10 minutes as a 1:08.2743 saw him lead Rasmussen, Robb, Siegel, Sowery, Simpson and Fittipaldi. The times quickly started to tumble. A 1:03.2859…

Conor Daly replaced Jack Harvey at Dale Coyne Racing for the second race as the Brit’s neck and back injuries were too much for him. McLaughlin got away well, maintaining the lead over Palou. Kyle Kirkwood move up three spots to find himself in 9th, with Newgarden up to P10 from 14th. Juncos Hollinger’s Romain…
New Zealander Scott McLaughlin took his first IndyCar oval win in the Hy-Vee Homefront 250 at the Iowa Speedway. It didn’t take long for the yellow flag to fly on the .875 mile tri-oval when David Malukas put the left front wheel of his #66 Meyer Shank Racing Honda below the white line and spun….
Qualifying for the second AND third oval race is a bit different compared to regular IndyCar qualifying and, for that matter, compared to the Indianapolis 500. Every driver gets one attempt of two laps, where the first lap determines the starting position for the first race of this double header, and logically the second lap…
Scott McLaughlin topped the sole practice session at Iowa for Team Penske despite a late spin. The Kiwi set 121 laps as Alex Palou and Pato O’Ward set the second and third quickest times.
