The 24-year-old from Nevada City will drive the #98 carAndretti Herta Autosport, born from the collaboration between the structures of the two pilot-patrons.
“I can't wait to make my IndyCar debut. I am truly proud to have joined such a high-level team. I hope to be able to be competitive from the first round in St. Petersburg” – the comment of the American who will be the protagonist of a test session on March 1st at Sebring.
“We are very happy with his arrival. He has an excellent CV, so I don't think he will struggle to get used to this type of racing” – he stated Michael Andretti.
“Fielding a young man like Alex will only make us stronger” – the opinion of Bryan Herta.
