IndyCar: Juncos Racing lose two primary sponsors for 2019 Indianapolis 500

IndyCar team Juncos Racing have lost two of their primary sponsors for the 103rd running of the Indianapolis 500 just one day before practice for the race is scheduled to commence.

Last Sunday, Juncos Racing confirmed that Kyle Kaiser would be their driver for the 103rd running of the Indianapolis 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the sixth of 17 races on the 2019 IndyCar schedule.

But the #32 Chevrolet that the 23-year-old Santa Clara, California native is set to drive in this year’s running of the “Greatest Spectacle in Racing” will be without two of the primary sponsors that it was supposed to have, calling into question whether or not Juncos Racing will actually field this car.

Here is what Juncos Racing team owner Ricardo Juncos had to say about the matter, according to RACER.

"“Unfortunately, we lost the two main sponsors that we thought was going to happen. The second one was just last week.”"

He added, however, that the team still plan to field the #32 Chevrolet for Kaiser in this race.

"“But we are here and you know the car is ready, Kyle’s ready, the team is ready. It’s just going to be a little white car, but we’re not going to lose the motivation, we’re going to keep pushing. And you never know, right? There’s been stories that I found that maybe the last two weeks, even the last week, you might find something before the race. So, we’re going to focus, obviously, now it’s time for the whole team to focus on practice, qualifying to make sure we perform as good as we did last year. And build the momentum from there, you know?”"
