It was announced today that Simona De Silvestro will return to action for the KiwiCo.-backed Paretta Autosport-Chevrolet at three rounds this year – Road America in June, followed by Mid-Ohio in July and Nashville in August.
Paretta explained that the #16 entry, which made its debut in last year’s Indianapolis 500, was never going to be re-entered at the Memorial Day Weekend classic at the exclusion of the other events. Given that new technical partner Ed Carpenter Racing is already running three cars at Indy, but only two at the road and street course races, it made sense to work together at events where there would be greater human resources.
