Team Penske has named former Formula 1 driver Felipe Nasr as the standby driver for the upcoming IndyCar event at Road America. The move comes as the team awaits a decision on Josef Newgarden's availability.
Newgarden is still recovering from a foot injury sustained in a crash during the Indianapolis 500, leaving his seat open for the weekend. Nasr will be on hand to step in if the champion cannot race, giving Penske a ready substitute while monitoring Newgarden's health. Fans will be watching closely to see whether Nasr gets a chance behind the wheel and how quickly Newgarden returns to competition.
