The Chip Ganassi Racing-Honda driver raced all the street and road courses on the IndyCar schedule in 2021, but this year is competing in all 17 rounds.
His oval race debut in an IndyCar, at Texas Motor Speedway last month, ended with a highly impressive sixth-place finish, but Indy’s 2.5-mile speedway has only nine degrees in banking through the turns so is a very different type of oval from TMS.
