Abel Motorsports will not be fielding a car in this year’s Indianapolis 500 after failing to find funding to properly
Abel Motorsports made their debut at the Indy 500 and first IndyCar race last year in the 107th edition of the event with RC Enerson driving the #50 car. However, this year, they faced challenges in securing a major sponsor for the race. Despite initial plans for Enerson to drive again, the team decided to withdraw from the event due to funding issues and time constraints. Team manager John Brunner confirmed the decision to pull out and expressed gratitude to Chevrolet for their support. Moving forward, Abel Motorsports aims to focus on building a more consistent presence in the IndyCar series and potentially running a full season entry in the future. Additionally, the team continues to nurture their successful IndyNXT program, which recently achieved its first victory at Barber Motorsports Park.
