Grosjean joins Juncos Hollinger for 2024 IndyCar season

The next chapter of Juncos Hollinger Racing’s IndyCar story will feature Romain Grosjean, who joins JHR as the new driver of the No. 77 Chevy. The Swiss-born Frenchman will partner with the returning Agustin Canapino in the No. 78 entry.

Together, they are tasked with turning JHR into a more formidable squad after Grosjean’s predecessor, Callum Ilott, set new expectations for the team in 2023.

“I’ve been closely following JHR’s ascension in the past few seasons,” Grosjean said. “The team has showcased significant growth, and I am eager to contribute my experience as we aim for a strong 2024 season.”

For Grosjean, the move to JHR is his third in the NTT IndyCar Series since 2021. Following a Formula 1 career that spanned 2009-2020, Grosjean relocated to the American open-wheel series with Dale Coyne Racing, and after making an impact with the smaller operation, Andretti Global acquired his services for two star-crossed seasons where he earned consecutive runs to 13th in the championship standings.

With his introduction at JHR, Grosjean inherits a seat that features strong engineering that propelled the No. 77 to a pair of fifth-place road and street course finishes last season, and a number of strong runs on ovals.

In Grosjean, the team owned by Ricardo Juncos and Brad Hollinger receives one of IndyCar’s fastest drivers who has earned three pole positions and five second-place finishes. Grosjean also continues to hunt for his first win and the consistency he and the JHR team will need to move the outfit forward in the paddock.
