Nasr Ready to Race for Penske

Felipe Nasr is back on standby for Team Penske, poised to race if Josef Newgarden can’t compete due to his lingering Indy 500 foot injury. A former F1 driver and IMSA GTP champ, Nasr brings deep single-seater experience and hybrid tech know-how from his Porsche days, having already tested extensively with the team. He’s been immersed in simulator work, car setup, and team meetings to stay sharp for Road America — a track demanding precision braking and quick reflexes. Nasr called the opportunity an honor, praising Newgarden’s recovery while staying focused on being ready to step in whenever needed. Team Penske’s thorough preparation underscores their confidence in Nasr’s ability to fill in seamlessly — a perfect blend of professionalism, experience, and preparedness.
