Colton Herta staying put, signs extension with Andretti Autosport

INDIANAPOLIS -- Colton Herta is not going to drive in Formula One or for Roger Penske or Chip Ganassi or anywhere but Andretti Autosport for now.

Andretti announced a two-year contract extension with the young American driver Friday that begins with the 2022 season. Gainbridge, the sponsor that shifted its funding this season to be paired with Herta within the Andretti camp, also extended its deal with the organization.

"Colton has already shown so much potential in the short time he's been in the series and having a great partner like Gainbridge recognize and support that potential is great for everyone," team owner Michael Andretti said.
