NTT INDYCAR SERIES team owner Ricardo Juncos of Juncos Hollinger Racing says there is nothing set yet amid rumors that the two-car team is for sale and is about to be purchased by the DeFrancesco family.
Speaking during a conference call earlier this week where the team announced that Conor Daly would take over the No.78 Chevrolet from Agustin Canapino for the rest of the 2024 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season starting with today’s Bommarito Automotive Group 500 at World Wide Technology Raceway.
Well, I hear the rumor. It is a rumor. I think in INDYCAR is in a good space, to be honest, generally speaking. A lot of good things are happening, and will happen for the next year, two or three. You see a lot of intentions of new teams coming in. Used to be more than that. I think it was about four to five teams willing to join INDYCAR, as far as I know, from rumors.
I only can say that in our side, all still the same. As of now, I’m not with Brad Hollinger doing anything. Of course, we have different options and different people that approaching us.
You mentioned DeFrancesco is one of those. We have an NDA (Non disclosure agreement) with all of them. Because of that, I have to follow the rules and stuff like that.
For the moment, nothing has been said to anyone. As of now, the programs we set from 2021, as we said before, we are executing. Right now I can tell you just rumors, like many others, but nothing is set yet.
Juncos Hollinger Racing’s Romain Grosjean and Conor Daly will start tonight’s Bommarito Automotive Group 500 from sixth and ninth, respectively.
