Callum Ilott will continue to drive the No. 6 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet for this week’s Open Test at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, with David Malukas still recovering from injuries.
A 25-year-old Briton, Ilott was confirmed by the team on Tuesday afternoon, noting he will take part in both Indianapolis 500 test days on April 10 and 11. He will be joined by Pato O’Ward, Alexander Rossi and 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Larson, who will take the reins of an Indy car for the first time since testing at Phoenix Raceway in early February. Malukas is still recovering from a left wrist injury and surgery sustained in a mountain biking accident during the offseason.
Petersburg, Ilott stayed out of trouble and qualified 16th before going on to finish 13th. At the most recent non-points round at The Thermal Club last month, he was running in a transfer spot in the second heat before fading to ninth, missing out on advancing into the final by three spots. While Arrow McLaren have been dependent on Ilott while Malukas recovers on the sidelines, the team won’t be able to rely on him if Malukas isn’t cleared to contest the Streets of Long Beach.
