. DaleCoyneRacing to retain MalukasDavid + TakumaSatoRacer for 2023 IndyCar season but weighing up options for third car
At the end of both 2020 and ’21, Dale Coyne Racing-Honda lost its star rookies Alex Palou and Romain Grosjean to Chip Ganassi Racing and Andretti Autosport respectively. Team owner Dale Coyne is keen to not let that happen to David Malukas, last year’s Indy Lights runner-up, who sits just four points behind Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing’s Christian Lundgaard in the Rookie of the Year standings.
“But Takuma is as excited about IndyCar as he ever was – I think he’s got another couple of years in him yet. He was very quick at Texas and Detroit which are obviously very different tracks, and he was quickest in all the practice sessions at Indy. And obviously David’s done a great job. “Yes, it’s difficult, but I’d say now is a good time to do it,” explained Coyne, “because in 2024 [with the new 2.4-liter with hybrid engines introduced] there’s going to be a different level of engineering required. So why not get our people together now and be more cohesive as a three-car team to be more prepared for 2024?
