Yeah, "being with the team" doesn't mean anything. According to a press release from last year, Jüri Vips is still "with Team Rahal", yet neither has he appeared in an Indycar nor has he appeared in a BMW hypercar. Shank deem the Indycar experiment with Blomqvist a failure. They're just not admitting it yet.
Thats sad. Id expect them to keep him for the remaining season or at least for the remaining road courses, while Helio takes the overalls. What if Tom was the best at mid-ohio in the debut of the hybrids 😮 Helio’s days of competitive racing are over. He makes mistakes, lacks the reflexes of his prime days, and he just isn’t quick anymore. Ovals are his only strong suit now.
From the Trackside radio show/podcast. Qualifying at ovals outside of Indianapolis order qualifying by points. So for Ed Carpenters Oval only entries, he has to qualify first. What he's done is take the #20 on ovals to get a better qualy position. Rasmussen is also not doing any other oval. Effectively ECR is a two car program and ran a third for Rasmussen at Indy.
You people are very very sick some of the greatest race car drivers in the world and well-known drivers have caused an accident on the start of the Indy 500 or during the race
Was really hoping to meet him at mid Ohio, really sad he’s probably gonna be out the rest of the season
I heard they have a endurance program next year he gonna run

Had barely even started.
Got to see him on the parade and pace laps at Indy.😀

Thanks for that extra info! I’ll definitely give that podcast a listen🙏
TB could race in Indycar if he wants for another team.
The dude was absolutely rapid in the Acura. Does not have the same ability in the Indycar tho…. Him wrecking at the 500 in lap 1 was disappointingz
was a terrible turn 1
Shank is keeping him for next years sports car team
Helio was upset with the high repair bill and two innocent bystanders taken out.
I hope he returns to IMSA
Tom had more success in IMSA bc less competition in the hypercar class, in Indycar he went up against many better drivers.

One mistake! But, when you do it at the Indy 500 , it bites!
