Dale Coyne Racing tabs Jack Harvey for GP of Long Beach
On Monday morning, the team surprised Harvey with a special birthday present by announcing on social media that his name will be on the car for the Long Beach race. Originally scheduled for 14 events, including the Indianapolis 500 and Toronto, Harvey will now also compete at Long Beach, expanding his schedule to 15 races. Rookie Nolan Siegel was initially set to drive the No. 18 car at Long Beach but will now switch to the No. 51 car alongside Rick Ware Racing. Siegel will only participate in two more races after Long Beach – the Indy 500 and Toronto – to maintain his rookie eligibility for 2025. Harvey, with 80 IndyCar starts under his belt, has been mentoring Siegel and sports car driver Colin Braun, who also made his IndyCar debut with DCR. Additionally, Katherine Legge has been confirmed to drive the No. 51 car for the Indy 500, a race she last competed in last year with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing. Legge brings experience from her 2007 Champ Car season with DCR, where she achieved two top 10 finishes, including a best result of sixth.
