Spencer Pigot replacing J.R. Hildebrand as full-time driver for Ed Carpenter Racing

Spencer Pigot will move full time to the IndyCar Series next season for Ed Carpenter Racing.

Pigot has spent the past two seasons as the road and street course driver for ECR. Next season, he will get the full schedule and take over the No. 21 Chevrolet currently driven by J.R. Hildebrand.

All but four of Pigot's 21 IndyCar starts have been with ECR. He is the 2015 Indy Lights champion.

"It's nice to know that they believe in me and I can provide them with the results that they want," Pigot said, according to IndyCar's official website.
