.IndyCar is set to welcome a new face in the fantastically named Sting Ray Robb, with DaleCoyneRacing nearing an agreement with the American for 2023. Full story ⬇️
Over the off-season, Coyne tested Marcus Armstrong but he has been recruited by Chip Ganassi Racing to drive the #11 CGR on road and street courses, while Coyne’s former full-timer in the #51 entry co-owned by Rick Ware Racing, Takuma Sato, is the primary candidate for the #11 on ovals.
Coyne, who sifted through six potential candidates for the #51 car, tested Sting Ray Robb on 4 January at Sebring, when Ganassi trialed 2021 Formula 2 runner-up Robert Shwartzman and Indy NXT driver Kyffin Simpson, and Penske ran Dane Cameron."Sting Ray was really good, as fast as Shwartzman, basically," said Coyne.
"Shwartzman has a better resume, driving with a bigger team, with an allegedly better engineer – our old one! [Ross Bunnell] – and we were just four-hundredths off.Photo by: James Black / Penske Entertainment "His feedback was decent for a rookie, too. I think the Indy Lights car has been good at producing drivers who adapt quickly to the big cars.Robb had a difficult jump from Skip Barber Series into USF Pro 2000 , sidestepping USF2000.Graduating to Indy Lights for 2021 was a struggle, but a switch from Juncos to Andretti Autosport last year unlocked his speed.
