Sage Karam has joined the entry list for IndyCar’s GMR Grand Prix on the IMS road course on July 4.

Karam will drive Dreyer & Reinbold’s No.24 Chevy in what will be the team’s first road/street course race since 2013, when Oriol Servia finished fourth in Sao Paolo. After focusing entirely on the Indy 500 for the past few years, DRR and Karam scheduled an expanded program for 2020 that was meant to start at St Petersburg before the event was postponed due to COVID-19.

26 car grid now:
Karam, Pigot boost GMR GP IMS road course entry

The NTT IndyCar Series will go racing again Saturday on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course with 26 cars. The spike in entries comes as a result of multiple part-time entries joining the grid at the combined IndyCar and NASCAR weekend at IMS.

Of note, the new collaboration between Citrone/Buhl Autosport and Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing will add a third car to the RLLR squad for Spencer Pigot in the Honda-powered No. 45. Dreyer & Reinbold Racing makes its long-awaited IndyCar return outside of Indy 500 activities with Sage Karam, who will pilot the No. 24 Wix Filters Chevy.
Nice grid.

I can sleep easier knowing @John has posted this thread.

Although if I am awake to watch it, it means I have not slept well at all.

- Kellett last isn't a surprise... And neither is Least Andretti being second last!

- Bit of a shame about Karam, but it's to be expected. Effectively a new team.
- Herta's still got it.

Every year I manage to miss this race. I have it scheduled on the DVR this year, so no excuses. Looking forward to a good race. Unfortunately, its also the first IndyCar race I've seen this year, so I have no idea what to expect.
