Transition Master Shows Rookie The Ropes

Meet Juncos Hollinger Racing's 2023 Rookie driver Agustin Canapino.
The 32-year-old is one of Argentina’s most successful drivers, and is set to set into the NTT IndyCar Series after securing 15 national championships in his homeland - winning multiple titles in the Super TC2000, Top Race V6, and Turismo Carretera categories. Canapino has also enjoyed a successful relationship with Chevrolet during his career and will continue this special relationship with JHR.
In fact, the newly-dubbed IndyCar driver has experience with Juncos Hollinger Racing, having competed for the organization in 2019 in the Rolex 24 at Daytona, as well as the 12 Hours of Sebring, as part of the team’s Cadillac DPi entry.
Canapino got the opportunity to get his first taste of the current-generation INDYCAR car, when he completed a private test with JHR in October 2022 at Sebring International Raceway. Early this year, he was able to gain four days of track time and relationship building at NTT INDYCAR SERIES Open Test held at the private facility - The Thermal Club where he was able to post up at P21 in a field of 27 drivers.
This video catches a rare opportunity to witness the comraderie found when accomplished drivers are able to share in the process of their evolving passions. Here we see Team Penske's Scott McLaughlin, who came to INDYCAR after a very successful career in driving Stock/Sports cars in Australia, introduce much of the transitional lessons he learned over these last couple of years with Agustin Canapino, himself a very accomplished Stock/Sports cars in Argentina.
