Ed Carpenter Racing has chosen reigning Indy NXT champion Christian Rasmussen as its newest driver for the No. 20 Chevy. In a twist, the team will revert to its former practice of ride sharing with the car. Rather than making Rasmussen Rinus VeeKay’s full-time teammate in the No. 20, ECR will pair team owner Ed Carpenter with Rasmussen, with Rasmussen handling road and street courses and Carpenter handling the oval in the No. 20. The only exception to this arrangement will be in May when Rasmussen will make his Indianapolis 500 debut in a third ECR entry. The decision to choose Rasmussen was made after a shootout with 2019 Indy Lights champion Oliver Askew, and Carpenter is excited for a successful 2024 season with the new addition to the lineup.
