The 2013 Indy 500 winner with KV Racing-Chevrolet will be competing this May for Arrow McLaren-Chevy alongside the team’s fulltimers Pato O’Ward, Felix Rosenqvist and Alexander Rossi. As well as his triumph, Kanaan has amassed eight more top-five finishes in the event, including third in last year’s event for Chip Ganassi Racing-Honda.
Given that 2021 NASCAR champion Kyle Larson is destined to race for the team in the 500 in 2024, Kanaan was asked if he considered this year’s race an audition for another team in next year’s event, or if he intended to make such a compelling case that Arrow McLaren would feel obliged to campaign five cars at Indy next year.
