IndyCar: 2024 IndyCar Silly Season page (4th Update)
With the announcement that David Malukas has signed with Arrow McLaren Racing for 2024, he goes to ‘fact’ in our table below.
With the announcement that Marcus Armstrong has re-signed with Chip Ganassi Racing for 2024, he goes to ‘fact’ in our table below. Ditto for Alex Palou.
We hear there is an outside chance that Tatiana Calderon might come up with enough money for the #29 Andretti Honda in conjunction with the Beth Paretta all-women team, but we were told the Andretti team had every intention of dropping back to three cars in 2024. We shall see.
