Another international racing star has joined the entry list for this weekend's NASCAR Cup Series race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course ⬇️

Mike Rockenfeller, 39, will drive the No. 42 Legacy Motor Club Chevrolet following the indefinite suspension of Noah Gragson.

Gragson was suspended after liking a meme that mocked the 2020 murder of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers. Both appearances came last year, driving the No. 77 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet at Watkins Glen and later at the Charlotte Roval. He finished 30th and 29th, respectively. . They were co-drivers during this year's Le Mans 24, piloting the popular Garage 56 NASCAR entry alongside 2009 F1 World Champion Jenson Button.

“After racing with Jimmie in IMSA for two years and together in the Garage 56 program not only were we teammates, but we are now great friends,” said Rockenfeller in a release from the team.
