November has arrived and only a few IndyCar seats remain as Silly Season winds down. Juncos Hollinger Racing solidified their driver lineup today, announcing that Romain Grosjean will be taking over the No. 77 Chevrolet next season. The former Formula One veteran will join his third different team as he prepares for his fourth season in the series. Grosjean replaces Callum Ilott, after the two sides agreed to go their separate ways. Grosjean will join forces with Agustin Canapino, who returns for his sophomore season.

In 47 career starts, Grosjean has shown flashes of his immense talent behind the wheel. He has recorded six podiums, with five of those being runner-up finishes. Two of his three poles came last season in his second year with Andretti, where he finished 13th in the final standings each year. The 37-year-old has seen his average finishing position drop from 12.7 to 13.7 to 15.2 last year. Grosjean is still searching for his first career win, which would also be a first for the organization. The full press release from today is below.

Juncos Hollinger Racing (JHR) is thrilled to announce the addition of Romain Grosjean to its 2024 NTT INDYCAR SERIES roster. He will drive the team’s #77 Dallara-Chevrolet – a proven machine on the racing circuit.

Romain is no stranger to high-speed competition, having completed the 2023 season at 13th place in the INDYCAR points standings. His standout performances included consecutive second-place finishes at both the Long Beach and Alabama circuits.

With nearly a decade of consecutive Formula One racing seasons under his belt, Romain took the INDYCAR scene by storm in 2021. At 37, he sees the transition to JHR as an exciting new chapter in his already illustrious career.

“I’ve been closely following JHR’s ascension in the past few seasons. The team has showcased significant growth and I am eager to contribute my experience as we aim for a strong 2024 season,” he said.

Ricardo Juncos, JHR co-owner and team principal, said: “Romain brings an unparalleled pedigree in motorsports. His leadership and experience are precisely what we need to propel JHR to new heights in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES.”

Brad Hollinger, JHR co-owner, added: “Romain has a history of competing at the pinnacle of motorsports. His expertise will be invaluable as we strive to redefine our performance metrics, both on and off the track.”

The team is set to kick off its 18-round NTT INDYCAR SERIES campaign on the Streets of St. Petersburg on March 10, 2024. With the addition of Romain, JHR solidifies its commitment to achieving new milestones in the upcoming season.
