Romain Grosjean Joins Juncos Hollinger Racing, Replacing Callum Ilott in 2024 IndyCar Series
Grosjean joins third team in four years, seeks to contribute to growing Juncos Hollinger Racing after tumultuous stint with Andretti Global and the abrupt dismissal of Callum Ilott.
- Romain Grosjean is departing from Andretti Global following a tumultuous stint, joining Juncos Hollinger Racing (JHR) as a replacement for Callum Ilott who was dismissed from the team abruptly.
- Despite recent challenges with team changes and an unsettled time at Andretti, Grosjean holds a record as a distinguished former Formula One driver who navigated a life-threatening fiery crash in the 2020 season.
- The Juncos Hollinger Racing team expanded to a two-car team last season to accommodate Argentinian driver Agustin Canapino whose fan-support in his rookie season led to significant backlash and even death threats towards Callum Ilott over on-track incidents.
- Notwithstanding his winless record through three seasons in IndyCar, Grosjean achieved consecutive second place finishes at Long Beach and Barber Motorsports Park, and finished 13th in the IndyCar standings for Andretti this year.
- Grosjean, who will be driving the No. 77 Chevrolet with JHR, has expressed enthusiasm about the new partnership with JHR and aims to contribute to the team's significant growth for a strong 2024 season.
