HMD Motorsports boss provides update on future IndyCar plans
HMD Motorsports ended their partnership with Dale Coyne Racing after David Malukas left for Arrow McLaren at the end of the 2023 season. General manager Mike Maurini confirmed last September that the team would focus solely on Indy NXT for the 2024 season. Their Indy NXT lineup includes returning Rookie of the Year Nolan Siegel and 2023 USF Pro champion Myles Rowe. Maurini expressed the team’s long-term goal of competing in IndyCar but stated that it is dependent on financial feasibility. HMD Motorsports will not have any affiliations or partnerships in 2024, and Maurini ruled out any one-off entries for the Indianapolis 500 this year. The team is moving into a new 65,000 square-foot shop in Brownsburg, Indiana, signaling growth and expansion. Maurini is open to exploring new partnership opportunities in the future but is focused on aligning with a team that fits the team’s vision for increased activation, hospitality, and sponsorship.
