Arrow McLaren announced on Friday that they have signed David Malukas to drive for the team in 2024 and beyond.
The 21 year-old American Lithuanian who has been in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES for two years has shown great pace during his time with Dale Coyne Racing.
Malukas who drive the No.6 NTT DATA/Onsemi and SmartStop Chevrolet alongside Pato O’Ward and Alexander Rossi commented saying:
I can’t wait to race in papaya next season. Arrow McLaren has been a threat to the top contenders all season long, and I’m excited to join the team and see what their Chevrolets can do. Pato and Alexander both know what it takes to win, so it will be fun racing alongside them and learning from them as well.”
McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown said:
David is an up and comer in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES, and based on what we’ve seen from him so far in his first two seasons, I’m confident there’s a lot of talent we can extract from him through the resources we have at Arrow McLaren. Beyond what he can do on a racetrack, he’s got a great personality and we’re excited to welcome him to the McLaren Racing family.
Arrow McLaren Race Director Gavin Ward commented saying:
“We’ve been extremely impressed with how quickly David has gotten up to speed in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES. At 21, he’s already one of the strongest oval racers in the field and his competitiveness on road and street courses has been steadily improving. That speed combined with an excellent attitude and work ethic makes us thrilled to have him join the team.”
Malukas will make his final Dale Coyne Racing start this weekend at the season-ending Firestone Grand Prix of Monterey at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.
