The NTT IndyCar Series field wasted no time after the Olympic break, with half of the full-time teams testing at World Wide Technology Raceway while Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing tested on the IMS road course with Zane Maloney. The WWTR test featured rookie test days for Arrow McLaren, Chip Ganassi Racing, and Ed Carpenter Racing, as well as team days for Andretti Global and Juncos Hollinger Racing. Despite the timing showing Agustin Canapino testing for JHR, sources confirmed that Conor Daly was in the No. 78 Chevy. The break also provided ECR’s Christian Rasmussen a valuable opportunity to gain more oval experience in an IndyCar. Testing will continue at Nashville Speedway on August 7, focusing on tires ahead of the season finale at the venue in September. Teams like Andretti Global, Arrow McLaren, Chip Ganassi Racing, and Team Penske are expected to handle tire testing duties for Firestone and IndyCar.
