IndyCar's Andretti Global Racing will keep its current three-driver lineup intact for the 2027 season as Marcus Ericsson will return to the team. Ericsson, the winner of the Indianapolis 500 in 2022 with Chip Ganassi Racing, was in the final year of his contract at Andretti Global.
The team announced Ericsson's return on Thursday, August 6.
"One of our priorities has been building consistency across our IndyCar program, and bringing Marcus back is an important part of that," Andretti Global President Jill Gregory said. "He's shown exactly what he's capable of this season through the speed and results he's delivered. Keeping our driver lineup together next season allows us to build on the chemistry and performance we've established as a team."
Since joining Andretti Global in 2024, Ericsson has played a key role in the team's continued success. Through the opening 12 races of the 2026 season, the Swede has earned his first career NTT P1 Award, a podium finish at World Wide Technology Raceway, six top 10 finishes and has led 132 laps, putting together one of the strongest seasons of his IndyCar career.
