Rinus VeeKay is back with Juncos Hollinger Racing as the lead driver for the 2026 IndyCar season, marking a homecoming to the team where he originally won the 2018 USF Pro 2000 championship and finished second in the 2019 Indy NXT series. The 25-year-old Dutch racer brings six seasons of IndyCar experience, including a rookie of the year title and a win at the 2021 Sonsio Grand Prix.
VeeKay spent the 2025 season with Dale Coyne Racing, delivering solid performances and finishing 14th in the standings. His move to Juncos Hollinger Racing reunites him with team owner Ricardo Juncos and co-owner Brad Hollinger. The team views VeeKay as a cornerstone of their long-term ambitions to elevate their competitiveness within IndyCar.
“I’m excited to officially announce my move to Juncos Hollinger Racing,” VeeKay said. “This is a team with real momentum, high ambitions, and a clear vision for the future. There’s a shared determination to compete at the highest level, and I’m confident that together we can achieve great things.”
Team Principal Dave O’Neill echoed that sentiment, emphasizing VeeKay’s blend of speed, consistency, and race craft as key to the team's upward trajectory. “Reuniting with Rinus feels like a natural continuation of the success we’ve shared in the past,” O’Neill said. “He will be a key part of a refreshed driver lineup aligned with our long-term vision.”
While VeeKay's teammate for 2026 has not yet been announced, the team demonstrated commitment to building a program focused on sustained performance improvements. VeeKay’s familiarity with Juncos Racing’s culture and his pedigree in the Road to Indy ladder make this partnership a promising formula heading into the new season.
