Dale Coyne hires Spanish driver Alex Palou for full IndyCar season

Dale Coyne hired Spanish driver Alex Palou on Thursday to drive the 2020 IndyCar season, the latest twist in a wild offseason of seat changes that has left a handful of decorated veteran racers still looking for rides.

Coyne did not announce a car number for Palou, who will race for a partnership to be called Dale Coyne Racing with Team Goh. The team said it will have "further details on its complete 2020 program at the beginning of the new year."

The team in November fired Sebastien Bourdais and has yet to announce any sort of extension with rising young American driver Santino Ferrucci.
