Team Penske has today announced a multi-year contract extension for Scott McLaughlin to race with the team in the IndyCar Series.
The new contract comes just days before the 2022 IndyCar season wraps up at Laguna Seca and after the Kiwi scored his third ever win in the series at Portland last weekend.
The Kiwi currently sits fifth in the series standings, just 41 points off leader and teammate Will Power.
McLaughlin still has a shot at the title depending on where the series leaders finish in the race.
“Scott took a big gamble when he came to IndyCar, as he knew he would be leaving a series where he knew he could thrive for years to come,” said Team Penske President, Tim Cindric.
“To see him have the success he has had so far has been really satisfying, as we were confident in his talent.
“Scott has adjusted quickly and has already established himself as someone that can win at any track during one of the most competitive eras of IndyCar racing.
“We are excited that he will continue to be part of the Team Penske legacy for years to come.”
The 2022 NTT IndyCar Series wraps up this weekend at the Firestone Grand Prix of Monterey on September 11 where a champion will be decided.
