IndyCar: Entry List for Pre-Season testing today

Below is the official entry list for IndyCar pre-season testing at the Thermal Club in California Thursday (today) and Friday.

The Thermal Open Test will be the first time to see some of the new driver/team combinations for 2023, including 2016 Indianapolis 500 winner Alexander Rossi moving to Arrow McLaren as part of an expanded three-car lineup alongside Pato O’Ward and Felix Rosenqvist.

Rising star Kyle Kirkwood moved to Andretti Autosport, taking Rossi’s former car, while Santino Ferrucci returns to the NTT INDYCAR SERIES full-time driving the famed No. 14 of AJ Foyt Racing. The other Foyt entry will be driven by one of four rookies who will race in 2023 – INDY NXT by Firestone graduate Benjamin Pedersen.

Another INDY NXT graduate, 2022 INDY NXT by Firestone championship runner-up Sting Ray Robb, landed a ride with Dale Coyne Racing with RWR. Argentine touring car standout Agustin Canapino joins an expanded Juncos Hollinger Racing effort alongside Callum Ilott. New Zealand’s Marcus Armstrong moves from Europe to drive road/street events for Chip Ganassi Racing. Armstrong will share the entry with two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Takuma Sato, who will race ovals in 2023.
