Abel Motorsports is taking steps to become a full time IndyCar entrant for the 2025 season, expanding from the team’s
Abel Motorsports has taken a significant step by acquiring a new Dallara DW12 chassis, which is expected to be delivered in the coming weeks. The team used a borrowed chassis to participate in the 2023 Indy 500, qualifying 28th and running 75 laps before retiring due to mechanical issues. Team owner Bill Abel is working on arrangements to run more races in the top level series, aiming to potentially compete in a full season in 2025 with the support of Chevrolet. Abel Motorsports has been participating in IndyCar’s feeder series since 2019 and plans to make another attempt at the Indy 500 this upcoming May. The team is investing in equipment and seeking funding to ensure a sustainable program, with the goal of racing full-time with at least one entry, potentially with a funded driver. The team is leaning towards having RC Enerson drive for a second consecutive year in this year’s Indy 500 and is also considering Jacob Abel, the team owner’s son, as a driver option for future expansion into the premiere series.
