The 2022 Indy NXT champion impressed in three starts with Meyer Shank Racing this season.
Linus Lundqvist is finally getting that IndyCar ride he, and many others, felt that he so richly deserved after dominating his way to the 2022 Indy Lights championship.Lundqvist failed to get a full-season IndyCar seat for 2023, but he has raced three times for Meyer Shank Racing, finishing a season-best 12th at the Grand Prix of Indianapolis on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course.
Lundqvist made a name for himself in Indy NXT, winning five times and reaching the podium nine times in 14 races in 2022. “It’s terrific that the opportunity to hire Linus, a proven winner, plus the reigning 2022 Indy NXT Champion is now a reality at Chip Ganassi Racing,” said Chip Ganassi Racing managing director Mike Hull. “He has shown that his on-track performance creates the racecraft separation that’s required in IndyCar today. Growing together with Linus is what comes next.
