There are plenty of people excited to see the Honda Indy Toronto return to the city’s downtown streets for the first time in three years.
The driver of the No. 29 Honda-powered car currently sits 22nd in the IndyCar Series with 99 points, with one of his best finishes of the season coming from his previous race earlier this month at the Grand Prix of Mid-Ohio where he finished 17th. DeFrancesco left F1 to join Indy Pro 2000 in 2020 because he was looking for a new challenge. And even in the middle of a worldwide pandemic, that would prove to be a good decision to help grow his racing career.
With the season more than halfway done, Toronto will be a crucial race for title contenders and multiple drivers looking to get as many points as possible out of the track. Coming from backgrounds of Formula 1 and NASCAR, IndyCar races take place on a combination of street, road and oval courses that change week to week. IndyCar is unpredictable, DeFrancesco says, because of the wide range of tracks.
Andretti is the all-time leader in Honda Indy Toronto wins with seven, but the last time an Andretti Autosport driver won the race was in 2012 when Ryan Hunter-Reay claimed the trophy.
