This is *such* a get for Foyt. Not quite as big a get as Power would have been, but VeeKay is someone who could be their team leader for a long time in a way that either Power or a prospect could not.

As for Coyne, the next step seems clear to me: Unless one of the five Ganassi/MSR seats is opening up, Linus Lundqvist needs to get back in a car somewhere. This car has sponsorship announced and Cannon locked in. Should be perfect timing for both DCR and Lundqvist.

Any risk of losing sponsorship with rinus leaving?

I believe the 2026 sponsorship agreement was officially announced over the Nashville weekend.

Is Lundqvist really that good? I know he got screwed over by the Indy NXT scholarship getting cut for his year and by CGR contracting when the charters started but is he underrated or just unlucky?

He finished behind Marcus Armstrong in the standings last year, but mostly because Marcus Armstrong wrecked him from pole at Road America.

Kirkwood, Malukas, and Lundqvist swept the 2021 Indy Lights season with Kirkwood winning 10 times, Malukas 7, and Lundqvist 3. Lundqvist then won a basically uncontested Indy NXT (was that the year they renamed it?) title the next year, and he had several other minor league titles prior to that.

Better than Armstrong I think. If you think Armstrong outperformed him, I'd say it's more because Armstrong was in year 2 and Lundqvist was in year 1. Ideally, he should come back but I'm thinking Hauger replaces VeeKay.

Ferrucci has really flatlined in terms of year-to-year improvement but I'm sure they'll give him at least another year because of his "brand"
