BRITON STEFAN WILSON FIRMS UP PLANS FOR INDY 500 IN 2023

-

Briton Stefan Wilson will race at the

Indy 500 in 2023 in the Dreyer & Reinbold Racing squad, the same team that ran his late brother Justin in 2010 and 2011.

The 33-year-old will join the squad, which has formed an alliance with

Cusick Motorsport­s, alongside a yet-to-be-named sister driver.

Wilson said: “I’ve been very impressed with how hard DRR has worked at and focused on the 500. It’s such an honour for me to join them in partnershi­p with Cusick Motorsport­s and work with them on our collective goal of trying to win the Indy 500.

“There’s a great opportunit­y here for us to all grow together. I hope this leads to more 500s, and maybe even more races together.”

Wilson (pictured, right), who led the Indy 500 with four laps to go in 2018 before slipping to 15th at the flag, has contested the showpiece event on four occasions.
