Overview

• The team confirmed the signing on October 14 with VeeKay designated as its lead driver for 2026, expected to race the primary entry likely numbered No. 76.
• He departs Dale Coyne Racing after one season that produced a 14th-place championship finish and a podium at Toronto.
• The move returns VeeKay to Chevrolet power following a 2025 campaign with Honda and adds a driver with a 2021 Indy GP win and six Indy 500 starts.
• The pairing revives a successful Road to Indy partnership that included the 2018 Pro Mazda title and a 2019 INDY NXT runner-up finish with 13 wins.
• JHR frames VeeKay as central to a long-term performance push under experienced technical leadership, while Sting Ray Robb’s 2026 status and DCR’s now-open No. 18 remain unresolved.
