After filling at the Long Beach Grand Prix, McLaren is to give the junior another race in IndyCar.
Theo Pourchaire will continue racing for McLaren in IndyCar at the next round in Barber since David Malukas is still recovering from wrist surgery which forced him to miss the previous race at Long Beach. Pourchaire, a Super Formula racer, filled in for Malukas in Long Beach and will once again take his place at the Barber road course in Alabama. Pourchaire finished 11th at Long Beach while Scott Dixon secured a remarkable victory against Colton Herta. Reigning champion Alex Palou took third place, with Josef Newgarden finishing fourth for Team Penske. Other notable drivers in the top 10 included Marcus Ericsson, Romain Grosjean, and Alexander Rossi, with Pourchaire even outperforming Pato O’Ward in a sister McLaren by finishing 16th.
