Spencer Pigot out of IndyCar ride

Spencer Pigot

Spencer Pigot will not return to Ed Carpenter Racing in 2020, according to a story Thursday by RACER.com.

The 26-year-old Floridian, who won the 2015 Indy Lights championship, is expected to be replaced in the No. 21 Chevrolet by 2019 Indy Lights runner-up Rinus VeeKay.

“I’m appreciative of the opportunity ECR gave me," Pigot told RACER.com. “I understand the reasons they had to go in a different direction, and wish them all the best."

When in doubt, follow the money. Veekay's check must have been bigger than Pigot's.
