If you are a fan of IndyCar, then you will already know that 2023 promises to be one of the best seasons in history. If you don’t know why, well, to start this year, we have 27 registered, the most since 2011.
With so many entries, this season promises to be very competitive and emotionally charged. If you are preparing your betting strategy for this IndyCar 2023 season, continue reading to learn about the teams and drivers to watch.
Meyer Shank Racing-Honda
Drivers
06 – Helio Castroneves
Races: 374. Best result in the championship: 2nd. Wins: 31. Poles: 50
60- Simon Pagenaud
Races: 199. Titles: 1. Wins: 15. Poles: 12
This team has the talent, but the machinery is what has failed. Tire degradation problems and other technical failures were the main setbacks for this team in 2022.
Simon Pagenaud at the Indianapolis GP showed last year what the team can do when the conditions are right.
For this season, they are one of the teams to watch; if they have managed to get Andretti Autosport engineering to learn from the mistakes of last season and prepare the cars better, we could be facing a team that would dominate the season.
Arrow McLaren-Chevrolet
Drivers
5 – Patrick O’Ward
Races: 55. Best result in the championship: 3rd. Wins: 4. Poles: 5
6- Felix Rosenqvist
Races: 62: Best result in the championship: 6th. Wins 1. Poles: 3
7- Alexander Rossi
Races: 114. Best result in the championship: 2nd. Wins: 8. Poles: 7
66 – Tony Kanaan (Indy 500 only)
Races: 389. Titles: 1. Wins: 17. Poles: 15
In this case, I may be a fanboy, and that’s why I choose McLaren as a team to follow. But the truth is that the team has invested a lot of financial and human resources in its IndyCar team.
It is a fact that they are still on a learning curve, but how much do they have a roaster with strong piles and a lot of talent. In addition, there is a team of top-level engineers who have prepared three McLaren Arrows, so it is a fact that we will see them compete for the title.
Chip Ganassi Racing-Honda
Drivers
8 -Marcus Ericsson
Races: 63. Best classification in the championship: 6th. Wins: 3. Best ranking: 2nd
9-Scott Dixon
Races: 368. Titles: 6. Wins: 53. Poles: 28
10- Alex Palou
Races: 47. Titles: 1. Wins: 4. Poles: 1
11 – Marcus Armstrong (urban and road circuits)
Rookie
11 -Takuma Sato (only in ovals)
Races: 215. Best result in a championship: 7th. Wins: 6. Poles: 10
This team had an excellent 2022, achieving four victories among its three drivers and conquering the most important race of all, the Indy 500. Scott Dixon, Alex Palou, and Marcus Ericsson finished third, fifth, and sixth in the final standings.
The team has strengthened its driver roaster with experts in different types of tracks. With a little hard work, they could be a Ganassi worthy of its legacy of 14 championships.
Dale Coyne Racing-Honda
Drivers
18 – David Malukas
Races: 17. Best result in the championship: 16th. Best race result: 2nd. Best qualifying result: 5th
51 – Sting Ray Robb
Rookie
A roaster of young drivers but with a lot of potential. Malukas became one of the most popular drivers in the category in his rookie season.
One of the reasons Malukas became so popular is because Dale Coyne Racing is known for being a team that is not known for being at the top of the speed charts, but the youngster changed that in 2022.
His season was so impressive that he received several offers from other teams. However, Malukas rejected them all and is willing to show with the Dale Coyne Racing car that he can be one of the fastest. Something to remember is that three of Malukas’ four best finishes in 2022 were on the ovals.
