So far Dale Coyne Racing has been mum on who will fill their seats for the 2024 INDYCAR racing season, but Jack Harvey may have given us a hint on one of the Coyne seats.

Following the exits of David Malukas (aka “Little Dave”) for Arrow McLaren and Sting Ray Robb for A.J. Foyt Enterprises in the offseason, Jack Harvey has been floated as a potential replacement at Dale Coyne Racing following being let go by Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing during the 2023 IndyCar season.

TBD if the Englishman and Ravenclaw are in the seat when the green flag drops for the 2024 IndyCar season.
