Toby Sowery will make his IndyCar debut at the upcoming race at Mid-Ohio, stepping up from the IndyNXT feeder series after a five-season campaign. With a background in GT World Challenge and IMSA’s LMP2 category, Sowery faces a fresh challenge returning to open-wheel racing, particularly with the introduction of IndyCar’s hybrid power system. Sowery expressed gratitude for the opportunity with Dale Coyne Racing and acknowledged the difficulty of adapting to the hybrid system with limited recent experience in the car. His signing marks the sixth different driver in DCR’s #51 entry this season, with a possibility of more changes before the season concludes. Team Owner Dale Coyne is confident in Sowery’s ability to quickly adapt and is looking forward to seeing his performance at the upcoming Mid-Ohio race weekend. The on-track action at Mid-Ohio starts on Friday, July 5, with the 80-lap race scheduled for Sunday, July 7 at 1:45 PM eastern time.
