Agustin Canapino has split from the Juncos Hollinger team and will not see out the 2024 IndyCar season
Agustin Canapino has parted ways with the Juncos Hollinger team before the conclusion of the 2024 IndyCar season. Canapino, a multiple Argentinian tin-top champion, made the switch to IndyCar in the previous year and impressed with a 12th place finish on his debut race. Despite lacking single-seater racing experience, Canapino showed his talent was transferable in IndyCar. However, his 2024 season has been tumultuous, with Canapino currently ranking 22nd in the standings. An on-track incident with Theo Pourchaire led to Canapino receiving criticism for his statement. Following this incident, Canapino did not participate in a test at Gateway and Conor Daly took over the #78 car. Canapino’s departure means the team faces strong competition to secure a spot in the Leaders’ Circle, which awards $1million to qualifying teams.
