IndyCar is back in action this weekend on the Laguna Seca road course in California and spectators may need a spotter’s guide to figure out who is even in the field following a wild sequence of driver movement that has upended the free agent market with more than half the season remaining.

FILE - David Malukas prepares before the start of an IndyCar auto race at World Wide Technology Raceway, Sunday, Aug. 27, 2023, in Madison, Ill. Malukas has joined Meyer Shank Racing just over a month after his hand injury from an offseason mountain biking crash caused him to be dropped by Arrow McLaren. Meyer Shank Racing announced Friday, June 7, 2024, that Malukas will drive in Meyer Shank Racing’s No.

“Look at the sequence of facts: It started last year with that driver that decided not to come over and breach his contract. Then we decided on continuity,” Arrow McLaren sporting director Tony Kanaan said. “I did not sign up to have to choose four drivers and then every option we had because we had to make a decision quick, a lot of them had schedules already.

Blomqvist had been struggling in the move from sports cars to IndyCar, and the team benched him for the two races after the 500. Once Malukas’ wrist was healed, MSR gave him the second chance he desperately needed.
