Dale Coyne Racing has confirmed that reigning Indy NXT champion Dennis Hauger will graduate to the IndyCar Series in 2026, driving one of the team’s Honda-powered cars. The announcement also included news of a newly formed technical partnership between Dale Coyne Racing and Andretti Global, which will come into effect next season.
Hauger, 22, joins IndyCar after an outstanding rookie campaign in Indy NXT, where he dominated the 2025 season driving for Andretti Global. The Norwegian scored six victories, five additional podium finishes, seven pole positions and 13 top-10 results across 14 races, allowing him to clinch the title with one round to spare at Milwaukee.
