Despite 2022 being such a fluid silly season, with an unexpected number of seats available in race-winning teams, Juncos Hollinger and former Formula 2 runner-up Ilott inked a new deal as early as July and since then the team has committed to running a second car for next year.
Motorsport.com asked Ilott if ignoring interest from other teams and committing early to Juncos Hollinger – which is running the full IndyCar schedule for the first time this year – had now been vindicated by his front-row start at Laguna Seca, Ilott said that it had, and that he was eager to keep a good name for himself.
