Few would have expected Ryan Hunter-Reay to replace Conor Daly at Ed Carpenter Racing, but the 2012 IndyCar champion is now back, and how he deals with the opportunity will be fascinating to watch.
, however, Carpenter felt he'd reached the end of the line. And with a series champ sitting on the sidelines, it seems an obvious switch.
"This weekend is almost a test session for us. It's a getting-to-know-you session for us. As long as I go about it that way, and the team does, as well, I think that we'll put our best foot forward for Mid-Ohio" "My current crew chief on the #20 was my crew chief on the #28 at Andretti Autosport, so I just know a lot of the people there. They were in the position where this was something that needed to happen for the team.
"Last year I was on call for the #10 car," he reveals."That was quite the rollercoaster because I never knew where that was going to go, but I kept myself ready. I kept myself mentally dialled in ready to jump in the car at any given point. So, I think that primed me not only for the 500 this year but where we are right now."
"Even though I know a lot of people there, it's a new grouping. It's a new situation. I also have to blend into that. I have to gel with that. Then from there, I'll find my place and what I can bring to the table or what I think may be a potential improvement that we can try and work on. A lot of TBDs right now, just a whole lot of them.
