// OVAL TEST FOR McLAUGHLIN

Hot on the heels of his successful Indycar test on the road course at the Circuit of the Americas, Scott McLaughlin will take part in IndyCar’s oval rookie test set for this Saturday (NZ time) at the daunting 1.5 mile oval that is Texas Motor Speedway.

McLaughlin finished the COTA test with the third-fastest time, just half a second behind teammate Will Power’s session-topping time.

Although his Supercar commitments rule him out of Indy 500 qualifying, and several other IndyCar rounds, the race at World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway is the only oval IndyCar race that McLaughlin could possibly schedule between Supercars events.

McLaughlin has made it clear that while he’s willing to continue racing Supercars for DJR Team Penske for the next two seasons, he eventually wants to move to the U.S. and continue his racing career there. However, while assumptions were once made that he was headed for NASCAR, McLaughlin himself has never specified which series he is more interested in, instead deflecting inquiries with the comment, “I’d race a wheelbarrow if it had a Penske sticker on the side.”

As with many things in motorsport, there could be more to Scott McLaughlin’s IndyCar testing than 'meets the eye'. Watch this space……

‪P3 at the end of running today. Had such an awesome time learning some limits of the car, but still have a lot to learn! Incredibly grateful for this opportunity! ‬

SO excited to be racing at the Indianapolis GP in May. My first race in an Indycar. I know I have so much to learn and to take in, starting next week in Texas at the 2 day test! But honoured to be driving the #2 Indycar for Roger and Team Penske. Thank you all for the opportunity!

I am currently on my way to HQ in Charlotte, North Carolina. I have one final seat fit and a race simulator session before heading to Austin, Texas Monday!

Team Penske president Tim Cindric has confirmed that Supercars champion Scott McLaughlin’s test at Sebring yesterday was more than just a novelty one-off and that the team is investigating the possibilities of the 26-year-old making his IndyCar race debut this season.
