At the end of both 2020 and ’21, Dale Coyne Racing-Honda lost its star rookies Alex Palou and Romain Grosjean to Chip Ganassi Racing and Andretti Autosport respectively. Team owner Dale Coyne is keen to not let that happen to David Malukas, last year’s Indy Lights runner-up, who sits just four points behind Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing’s Christian Lundgaard in the Rookie of the Year standings.
He is also eager to retain 45-year-old Sato, driver of the Coyne w/Rick Ware Racing #51 car, who he feels has contributed much knowledge and oval pace both to the DCR team and to his young teammate.
