"I’ve been following Toby’s career for quite some time now,” he said. "He’s shown that he can quickly adapt to whatever car he is driving and has a successful track record to prove it.

"We realize coming into the weekend at Mid-Ohio with no prior testing of the car in its hybrid form might be a steep learning curve, but we’re confident he will get up to speed quickly and we look forward to seeing what he can do.”

Sowery does have experience in IndyCar machinery. In 2023, he tested with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing.
