The second to last race in the IndyCar season is this coming Sunday in Laguna Seca, California. The battle for the Championship is getting nearly resolved with Palou putting some distance between himself and O'Ward and Newgarden. Also, Andretti AutoSport has announced that Ryan Hunter-Reay is moving on after the season. No replacement has been announced for the DHL, Number 28 ride. RHR has not indicated where he is headed. He may be starting his own team. There is certainly enough room for another team in IndyCar. We shall see how this all shakes out.
