As the second week of January rolls around, nine out of the ten full-time teams in the NTT IndyCar Series have already signed their drivers for the season opener on March 10 in St. Petersburg. This shows the stability of the paddock, with privately-owned teams securing budgets, personnel, and driving talent early in the year. In the past, it was common for teams to have incomplete rosters until late January or early February, often resulting in last-minute signings. However, in 2024, 25 out of the 27 drivers who will make up the grid have been signed and confirmed. Dale Coyne Racing is the final team yet to announce their drivers, which is not surprising given their history of rotating rookies and veterans. Various drivers, including Devlin DeFrancesco and Jack Harvey, have been mentioned as potential options for Dale Coyne Racing. The full grid will be determined once the final two entries are confirmed.
