IndyCar: DragonSpeed confirm six races in 2020, no driver confirmed

DragonSpeed have confirmed that they will compete in six races in the 2020 IndyCar season, although they have not yet confirmed their driver lineup.

DragonSpeed made their IndyCar debut in the 2019 season with Ben Hanley behind the wheel of the #81 Chevrolet. Originally slated to compete in five races, they only ended up competing in three.

They opened up the season competing on the streets of St. Petersburg, Florida before competing at Barber Motorsports Park. Then, against tough odds, Hanley qualified for the 103rd running of the Indianapolis 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

But despite their initial plans to compete at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course and Road America, they did not compete at either track. They made it their goal to compete in the season finale at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca instead, but that ultimately did not come to fruition either.

Now for 2020, DragonSpeed, which were originally eyeing a 10-race schedule, have confirmed that they will compete in six of the 17 races.

With that being said, who will end up driving the #81 Chevrolet in 2020 remains unknown.

They are once again set to compete on the streets of St. Petersburg, but instead of Barber Motorsports Park, they are set to compete on the streets of Long Beach, California. They are then set to attempt to qualify for the Indy 500 once again before competing in another oval race at Texas Motor Speedway.

After missing out on competing at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course and WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca in 2019, they are planning to compete at both in 2020. Notably, Road America is not a part of their plan this year.

The team confirmed this news on their Twitter account.

Last season, Hanley finished in 18th and 21st place at St. Petersburg and Barber Motorsports Park, respectively, before a driveshaft issue knocked him out of the race and relegated him to a 32nd place finish in the Indy 500.
