Juncos Hollinger Racing confirmed on December 2, 2025, that Sting Ray Robb returns for a second season in the No. 77 Chevrolet, honoring his two-year contract after initial doubts from his removal on the team website. The 23-year-old Idaho native debuted with the team in 2025, posting a ninth-place finish at Long Beach and leading 12 laps there, his best result of a season that built on prior stints with Dale Coyne Racing and AJ Foyt Enterprises. Team principal Dave O’Neill praised Robb's professionalism and feedback, calling him a key pillar alongside VeeKay's six seasons of experience, including a 2021 win and 2025 podium.
Rinus VeeKay joined in October as the lead driver, shifting from Dale Coyne where he took 14th in the standings, bringing race-winning pedigree from his early days with Juncos in lower formulas. Robb, the 2020 Indy Pro 2000 champion who reunited with the team after five years, emphasized continuity and hunger to climb the grid with VeeKay. Owners Ricardo Juncos and Brad Hollinger view the duo as the foundation for gains, following a 2025 campaign that edged the team forward from prior years marred by driver turnover.
This pairing ends months of speculation. Robb replaces Conor Daly in the lead role shuffle, with Daly now seeking a seat at the lone open spot with Dale Coyne Racing. Fans watched Robb's path from Pro Mazda roots to IndyCar top-10s, now betting on his growth in a stable environment.
Expect fireworks from this hungry duo. Juncos Hollinger eyes the top half; 2026 testing starts soon, proving if continuity delivers.
