INDIANAPOLIS (AP) No one needs a spotter to see this coming.
With former Indianapolis 500 champions Helio Castroneves and Tony Kanaan in the twilight of their racing careers and possibly driving their final IndyCar season, the open-wheel series is on the verge of a fairly significant shift.
Even IndyCar officials are braced for the change, having created a ”What’s Next” advertising campaign that puts several younger drivers in the spotlight.
Americans Josef Newgarden and defending Indy 500 winner Alexander Rossi as well as popular Canadian James Hinchcliffe are part of the push. So are Graham Rahal and Ryan Hunter-Reay.
