Dale Coyne Racing has completed its 2025 IndyCar Series grid by signing five-year veteran Rinus VeeKay to drive the No. 18 Honda. VeeKay will lead new teammate Jacob Abel, who will be driving the No. 51 Honda during his rookie season. Coyne expressed his excitement about VeeKay’s hunger and unfinished business, highlighting their productive testing session at Indy. The Dutchman’s arrival brings much-needed experience to the team after a challenging 2024 season. VeeKay will be supported by race engineer Ed Nathman, while Abel will work with veteran engineer John Dick. The team is gearing up with high expectations as they prepare for the opening practice at St. Petersburg later this month, following a test session at Sebring.
